yes, it's happened in cricket.
Depends if it looked like it was going on to hit the stumps. If so, the umpire is likely to give him out.
the umpire decides if the batsman is out or not
The umpire responsible for judging the receipt of the ball in the batting square is the square leg umpire. This umpire closely monitors the actions of the batsman and the bowler from a position square of the wicket, ensuring that all plays involving the ball and the batsman are accurately judged. The square leg umpire plays a crucial role in decisions related to run outs and boundary calls in that area.
He is out.
Sachin Tendulkar was the First Batsman to be given out by the Third Umpire!
HOWZAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it hits the umpire behind home plate, it is a foul ball. If it hits a field umpire who is in bounds, then it is a live ball, meaning that the batter might be thrown out at first, or he might reach first base safely (and then this would be scored as a hit without an error),

No. The legality of a delivery is decided only by the umpire during a game.
