Yes, he's part of the batting order for that inning as designated by his manager. Yes, the "pinch hitter" would be at bat for the second time in the inning but he would no longer be considered a "pinch hitter." My question is: What is he now considered? My guess is that he would be considered as taking the position of whatever player he pinch hit for. If he bats for the shortstop, and then comes around to bat again in the same inning, in his second at bat, he would be officially in the game at shortstop.
yes you are the pinch hitter is the replacement

The pitcher of record, i. e., the pitcher who was the player who last pitched, would get credit for the win. The pinch hitter or pinch runner is not considered the pitcher until he takes the mound, not when he replaces the pitcher as a pinch hitter or pinch runner. To further explain, even if the pinch hitter or pinch runner, or another pitcher enters the game to pitch after the end of the inning in which they pinch hit and/or pinch ran, and the losing team does not tie the game, or go ahead, that previous pitcher (the one that was pinch hit for, or pinch ran for) gets credit for the win.
It's called a pinch-hit walk-off home run.
One. Mincher's final season in MLB was with the 1972 Athletics. He got into 3 games of the 1972 World Series as a pinch hitter. In Game 4, he pinch hit for Dick Green in the 9th inning and singled, scoring the tying run. In Games 5 and 6, he was also a late game pinch hitter. The Reds changed pitchers to a left hander both times and Mincher, the pinch hitter, was pinch hit for.

Kirk Gibson. His three-run homer as a pinch hitter was his only appearance in the Series.
