Providing that there is less than 2 outs in the inning, the batter would still be credited with a base hit.

Can the first baseman stand on first base while the runner is advancing to second on an extra base hit?
Yes, as long as he does not interfere with the base runner.
Man at first ground ball first baseman tags first runner does not advance to second stays on first is this a double play?
If the runner remains standing on the bag when the 1st baseman touches the bag and the 1st baseman does not tag the runner prior to touching the bag, then the runner is safe and you have no double play. Answer To clarify, once the Batter becomes a batter-runner, the runner at first loses his right to occupy first base and is forced to advance. If he is tagged while standing on the base, he is out. If the first baseman then steps on first base the Batter-runner is also out -- Double Play. BUT, if the first baseman first steps on the base the batter-runner is out and the force is removed. If the runner standing on first base is now tagged he is safe.
Runners are on 3rd and 1st. The ball is hit to the 2nd baseman. The shortstop covers the bag and the batter reaches 1st before the throw reaches 1st base. The runner at 3rd scores. Is it an at bat?
Yes. The batter would be credited with an at bat and an RBI.
Runner on second and batter hits grounder to short and throws out runner at third is batter credited with a hit?
No hit it is a fielders choice
If there is a runner third base and he hits the ball to the shortstop and he throws to home plate and he is safe Is the batter credited with a hit or a fielder's choice?
That would be considered a fielder's choice. Answers.com defines a fielder's choice as: "A play made on a ground ball in which the fielder chooses to put out an advancing base runner, thus allowing the batter to reach first base safely." Even though, in your question, the runner was not put out at home the play would be scored a fielder's choice and the batter would be credited with an RBI.
Is anyone credited with a run batted in when a runner steals home?
No because the batter had nothing to do with the runner scoring.
When there is a runner on first - the batter hits a ground ball to the first baseman who steps on first and then tags the runner who remains on first - Who is out?
If the first baseman tags first base, the runner originally on first is therefore not forced to second base and he is safe at first.
What is an unassisted put out?
An 'unassisted put out' is a term that is used when a ground ball is hit and the defensive player that fields the ball is the player that makes the put out without any other defensive player touching the ball. The best example of this would be when a ground ball is hit to the first baseman. If the first baseman fields the ball, runs to and gets to the bag before the batter to make the out, the put out would be unassisted and you might hear the announcer say something like 'Jeter grounds out 3 unassisted'. And 'assisted put out' is when there is more than one defensive player that touches the ball to get a batter or runner out. If a ground ball is hit to the shortstop and he throws to first base to get the batter out, the shortstop is credited with an assist and the first baseman gets credited with a put out. If there is a runner on third base and the batter hits a fly ball to left field and the runner at third tries to score but is thrown out at home by the left fielder, the left fielder would be credited with an assist and the catcher would be credited with a put out.
Runner 1st and second baseball hit by batter hits runner on way to 2nd Who is out and are any bases awarded?

If a batter hits a pitch and the ball hits a runner how is it scored?
The play is dead, the runner that was hit is out, and the batter reaches first base and is credited with a single.
What happens when an advancing runner is hit with a batted ball?
The batter is out unless a fielder touched the ball
Does the runner need to be out in order to be a fielder's choice?
No, if there is a runner on first and the second baseman fields the ball and throws it to the shortstop, who muffs the play and allows both the runner and batter to advance/reach safely, the play would be ruled a fielder's choice and an error. It would still count as an at-bat and a non-hit for the batter, just as if the second-baseman had muffed the throw to the first-baseman with nobody on base.
