In baseball "advance the runner" is a term used to say get a runner on base to move forward to another base.
In MLB, yes. According to MLB rules, a foul tip is a ball that is tipped by the batter that goes straight back into the catcher's mitt. It is considered a swinging strike and not a foul ball.
There is no free base or "advancing" by rule based on this play. Runner tries to advance at his or her own discretion if they take up.
it would depend on how the ball was caught.

A runner must be tagged to be Out if he is not forced to advance as a result of the batter putting the ball into play.
Runners can advance in any case even with 2 outs. The batter is different. If first base is occupied with less than 2 outs then the batter cannot advance but everyone else can... It would be more of a steal than drop strike though. If there are 2 outs and he strikes out on a dropped strike, the batter is allowed to advance with a runner already occupying first. In any other case you can go whenever you please
As long as he has tagged up he can advance the whole way to home.
Yes
In baseball? This is not allowed. The lead runner must attempt to advance to the next base; if it is tagged with the ball before the runner reaches it that runner is out.
When the batter hits a fly ball and there are less than 2 out the runners have to stay where they are until either the ball is caught or until they know for a fact that the ball won't be caught. If the ball is caught, they have to tag up, otherwise they can just keep on running.
yes, but runner must not advance to next base until ball is caught by defensive player.
