If the batter was swinging it is a strike...if the batter was not swinging, then they are deemed to have been "hit by pitch" and are awarded first base.

No. MLB Rule 6.03 states: "The batter's legal position shall be with both feet within the batter's box. APPROVED RULING: The lines defining the box are within the batter's box." Since home plate is not within the batter's box, touching the plate with a foot while swinging would not be legal.
A forward 'k' is using in baseball scoring to mean a batter struck out swinging. a backward 'k' is used to mean a batter struck out looking.
The "K" is placed backwards in cases where the batter strikes out looking.
by swinging and ducking
In softball, the batter can be walked, strikeout, or they can get a hit. Walks are caused by the batter accumulating 4 balls. A ball is a pitch thrown outside of the strike zone. A strike is a pitch thrown inside the strike zone. A batter can get a strike by either swinging and missing the ball, or they can get a strike from not swinging at a strike within the strike zone.
It varies from batter to batter. A lot say it is the fastball high and in. I would add that yes it will vary depending on the batter's swinging tendencies. The best pitch will be one that should be a strike. Thus if the batter thinks the ball is not in his 'zone' and lets it go he's stuck 'looking' . The best strikes of course are ones that catch only a piece of the plate.
Yes it bunts which is holding the bat where the ball is going but not letting it go far by not swinging
