Is the batter out if the batter hits a ball and throws his bat and the bat hits the catcher and as a result the catcher is unable to field a throw for a play at the plate?
Yes. If at any point in a game, the batter or baserunner interferes with the fielder, he is an automatic out. If he impedes the throw to get out another runner, the other runner is out as well. For instance, on a double play, if the runner going to second is already out by force at 2nd, and he plows into the short stop trying to throw the other runner out at first, the runner going to first is also out. The baserunner must always slide or otherwise avoid excessive contact with the fielder on a double play.

Does catcher have to throw at base that is being stealed on?
No, the catcher (or any other player) can choose not to throw to a base at any time, regardless of whether a runner is going there. If the catcher knows he can't get a stealing runner out, he will most likely not throw to avoid the risk of an error.

If in baseball a player runs over the first basemen to cause him to drop the ball is it ruled a hit or an error?
If the first basemen has full possession of the ball before the collision and the ball comes loose as a result of a collision, it is an out. If the baserunner interferes with (collides with) the first basemen before the first basemen has made a play on the ball or while the first basemen is in the process of making a play on the ball, the runner is considered out for interference. Under no circumstance may a baserunner cause a collision with a fielder that is making a play on or has possession of the ball, unless it is the catcher. A baserunner can only be considered safe if the collision is at home plate with the catcher.
What is official scoring when runner is thrown out trying to advance on passed ball or wild pitch?
It's ruled "caught stealing," and scored 2-6 if the catcher throws to the shortstop, 2-4 if the catcher throws to the second baseman, etc.
Does the runner have to wait until the ball has been hit to advance to next base?
No, he can advance by stealing the base, or advance on a wild pitch, passed ball, catcher interference or a pitcher's balk.
