Yes, if it is a force out, as long as the fielder has the ball in his possession (glove or free hand) if he touches the bag before the runner with any part of his body then the runner would be called out.
Now if this was a play that required a tag, and the ball was in his bare hand and the tag is made with the glove, or visa-versa, then the runner is safe
Apparently so.
Rule 7.06 of MLB rules state that a fielder, not in possession of the ball or in the act of fielding a batted ball or about to receive a thrown ball, may not impede the progress of a base runner. This includes faking a tag when not having the ball. However, there is no rule against tricking an opponent into leaving a base. It's the runner's responsibility to check with the umpire before doing so.
Yes, as long as the fielder has complete possession of the ball any part of their body touching the base creates a force out.

Can a runner intentionally dislodge a ball from a fielders glove to avoid a tag?
NO

Yes, runner cannot intentionally dislodge ball from fielders glove.
During a force out at second base if the fielder does not transfer the ball to the covering defender but merely holds onto the ball in the other fielders glove is the runner out?
if the umpire thinks the fielder with the glove "has control of" the ball, then runner is out. i can't imagine this happening.
A runner not touching the base and a fielder touches him with a glove and ball is?
The runner is out as long as the fielder you touches has the ball in his glove
If a runner is hit with the ball by a miss throw by to the second base man is the runner out?
No. To force an out, the defensive player has to touch the runner with the ball or touch the runner with the glove while the ball is in the glove. A thrown ball touching a runner does not count.
What do you call ball that hits the ground and short hops into the fielders glove?
scoop
What is the baseball tag up rule?
because without one all the runners on base would be able to score on a high pop up on the infield the tag up rule is a compromise between that situation and not allowing the runners to advance at all after a ball is caught
When a player steals and the fielder tags runner and his glove falls off and ball stays in glove is he safe or out?
The runner would be safe. This is the same as if the ball were dislodged and falls out of the glove.
If a base runner is hit by a fielders throw is he out?
No, not unless he's deemed to have intentionally interfered with the ball.
Is it a fielders choice with one out and runner on third and batter grounds out to first with runner on third scoring?
Anytime the batter is put out at 1st base on a batted ball it is not considered a fielders choice, it is simply a put out. Now in your scenario if the catcher would have thrown home and the runner coming from 3rd is out and the batter is safe at 1st, then in that case it would be a fielders choice
Is it an out if the glove with the ball touches a base and then pops out of the glove?
This would probably be the judgment of the umpire. If he felt the ball was under control as the fielder touched the base, the runner would be out. If he felt that the ball was not fully under control and hitting the base caused the ball to come out of the glove, the runner would be safe.
If the runner is tagged out then the fielder drops the ball and the runner touches the base is he out?
I will assume you mean when a batter has hit a ground ball to an infielder and the throw to first pulls the first baseman off the bag. On any force play, and the above would be considered a force play since the batter is forced to run when (s)he hits the ball, the batter would be called out because it is only necessary to have full possession of the ball and touch the base before the runner does.
