It would depend on the situation:
- If the runners are all safe and the out went to 1st and the batter was out, then it would be a Sac Bunt
- If the play went to any other base/home (no matter if they are safe or out) then it would be a Fielders Choice
- If on the bunt, it is determined that the batter would have been safe at 1st even if the play would have went directly to 1st, then it would be a hit

What is it called when a runner tries to steal home and the batter tries to lay down a bunt?
In this situation, the term used is a "suicide squeeze". It sounds a little funny but the actual idea is this: Coach will give a sign to the batter to bunt. At the same time the runner at third base will run as soon as the bunt is layed down, sometimes if wanting to take the chance, as soon as the pitcher starts their delivery.

How many types of bunts are there?
There are the following types of bunt: * Sacrifice bunt: A bunt that attempts to move the runner(s) to the next base(s), with the expectation that the bunter himself will be thrown out. A sacrifice bunt only occurs when there's a runner on base. The bunter usually turns to face the pitcher before the pitcher releases the ball, remains standing with both feet on the ground until after the ball hits the bat, and only begins running to first after the ball is bunted. * ** Squeeze play: A sacrifice bunt where the bunter is attempting to score a runner from third base. This is particularly difficult since the fielder will usually pick up the ball while charging home plate, with a short and fairly easy throw home. There are two types of squeeze play, described below. ** *** Suicide squeeze: A squeeze play where the runner from third starts running home as soon as the ball is pitched. If the bunter fails to make contact, the runner is usually easily tagged out by the catcher. *** Safety squeeze: A squeeze play where the runner from third starts running only after the ball is bunted. The "safety" is that the runner won't be caught on a ball that wasn't put in play. * Bunting for a base hit: There's no special name for this, but unlike a sacrifice bunt, the bunter's primary intention is to get on base. The bunter doesn't show that he's bunting until after the pitcher releases the ball, and the bunter starts running to first as the ball hits the bat. * ** Drag bunt: A left-handed hitter bunts down the first base line, while beginning to run to first. It's called a drag bunt because he appears to be dragging the ball with him as he takes his first steps towards first base.
When someone bunts the ball and runs to first and the fielder throws to home trying to get the out there does the bunt-er have a hit or a sacrifice as no one was put out?
I would consider it a hit/bunt. It is a sacrifice bunt if the bunter knows they will get out so another runner can advance or get a run. Hope this kind of helps
