Final answer: In the situation you cite in the Discussion section (R2 going to 3rd base and interferes with batted ball), you are correct: ball is dead, R2 is out for the third out. Yes, the batter (A) is awarded 1st base, and would be considered Left On Base (LOB). The next batting position after A would be first up next inning. Batter A would not bat again. See rules 6.08(d) ("The batter becomes a runner and is entitled to first base without liability to be put out...when-") and 7.08(b) ("Any runner is out when-").
See Discussion section for earlier answer and comments.

The Pitcher throws towards home plate. the ball bounces in the dirt before home plate and it hits the batter is it a dead ball or hit batter?
It is a dead ball and the batter is awarded first base and is ruled a hit by pitch
If a pitched ball hits the ground first then strikes a player is the call a ball or a walk?
it is a hit by pitch (or a walk).Clarification:The answer above makes it seem a HBP and a Walk are the same -- they are not.. they are scored different and effect stats different. If the umpire calls it ball 4 and says it never hit the batter the ball is still in play and the batter gets a Walk -- If the umpire determines the ball hit the batter, the batter gets a HBP (hit-By Pitch) and it is a dead ball --- runners advance their one base but cannot advance furtherIn your question -- even though the ball hit the dirt, once it strikes the batter (assuming the batter never swung), this is a Hit-By-Pitch
