What happens in a tie bottom of the ninth inning?
That is when the home team is batting in the ninth inning. If the home team is ahead after the visiting team makes its three outs in the 'top' of the ninth (their turn to bat in the ninth inning) there is no bottom of the ninth because the game is over and the home team has won. If the home team is tied or behind the visiting team after the visiting team makes their three outs in the ninth inning, the home team comes to bat and it is called 'batting in the bottom of the ninth inning'.

What does the bottom of an inning mean?
Major League Baseball consists of 9 innings, with each team alternating their at-bat. The Visiting team bats first, which is the top of the inning, and continues batting until 3 Outs have been recorded. The Home team then bats, which is the bottom of the inning, and continues until 3 Outs have been recorded. Then the Visiting team would bat again in the top of the second inning, and the game would continue that way until 9 innings have been played, or 8-1/2 innings if the Home team is ahead after the Visiting team has completed their at-bat in the top of the 8th inning.
What does 'walk off home run' mean?
A walk-off home run is a home run which ends the game. This is a phrase that has only recently entered the baseball lexicon, believed to have been started by Dennis Eckersley of the Oakland Athletics after Kirk Gibson hit a home run off of him in the bottom of the ninth inning in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series to win the game. If the home team hits a home run to win the game in the 9th or an extra inning, both teams walk off the field since the game is over.A walk-off home run is a home run in the bottom of the last inning that ends the game. A walk-off home run is a home run that ends the game. It must be a home run that gives the home team the lead in the bottom of the 9th inning or the bottom of any extra inning. It is called a "walk-off" home run because the teams walk off the field immediately afterward.
In a timed game if the home team takes the lead in last inning does it divert back to previous inning if they don't make 3 outs before time runs out?
Most leagues that have time limits have a rule where the limit is determined based on the last out in the inning. This means if you are in the 5th inning and the bottom of the 5th ends with 1 minute left before time is up. You will play the entire 6th inning but that will be your last inning -- if the home team takes the lead in the bottom of the 6th the game will end just like any other game in the last inning
If a baseball game is stopped due to rain in the top of an inning can it be an official game?
In MLB, the team that is losing must have five full innings of at bats for the game to be complete. If the home team is ahead, the game can be called in the bottom of the fifth inning and it would be considered complete since the visiting team, who is losing, has had five full innings of at bats. If the home team is losing, the game can be called in the top of the sixth inning and it would be considered complete since the home team has had five full innings of at bats.
When does an inning begin?

If a starting pitcher pitches a 0-0 game at home and his team scores in the top of the 7th inning how long does he have to pitch in the bottom of the seventh inning to earn a win?
The situation that you describe is not possible because a pitcher who is starting at home would pitch the top of the inning, not the bottom. The home team always plays defense in the top of an inning and offense in the bottom of an inning. If the score is 0-0 in the top of the seventh and the team scores in the top of the seventh and does not give up the lead, the pitcher who was in the lineup in the bottom of the sixth when the final out was recorded will be awarded the win regardless of whether they pitch the bottom of the seventh.
