stkjock's post in Fair/Foul bal was marked as the answer
Foul
the position of the ball is what is the deciding factor. Where the player is standing is not relevant. Since in your example the ball was over foul territory, before passing third base, when touched it is a foul ball. To be fair it would have to,pass third in fair territory.

Batter is up first next inning, new at bat, new count.
The runner was retired. Not the batter

stkjock's post in glove falls off on tag and ball stays in glove was marked as the answer
safe
fielder must maintain control of the ball, if the glove has the ball and it's off the hand, it's not controlled.

stkjock's post in Run scores or not was marked as the answer
Yes
this is a time play, as the runner scores before the tag, that run counts

stkjock's post in Force play was marked as the answer
No
R2 is forced to advance, he’s put out before reaching third, despite the tag, it’s a force out.

If the plate umpires judgement the contact hindered the catcher’s throw, batter is out, runners return.

stkjock's post in unassisted double play was marked as the answer
As described, once F4 steps on the bag, R1, the runner from first, is out, this removes the force on R2, if he stays on the bag, he's safe, despite the tag by F4. However, if R2 is tagged first, then the bag is touched, then yes 2 outs.

stkjock's post in Force or Tag? was marked as the answer
No as it seems described.
If the thrid baseman, either tagged the base or the runner from second, the force on the runner from third is no longer in effect. That runner from 3rd, R3, would need to be put out via a tag.

stkjock's post in Runner mises home, on a BB ... was marked as the answer
runner is out, ball is live, defense made a proper appeal of the missed base, no different if she missed any other base.

stkjock's post in Fan was marked as the answer
based on my understanding - still learning.
no balk, if he disengages by stepping being the rubber,he is no longer a pitcher and the step on the rubber is coincidental. Out
Q2 - if the F5 touched the ball while it was over foul territory, then it's foul, not sure what you mean by "above". the umpire would have to judge where the ball was when touched.

stkjock's post in baseball was marked as the answer
if I understand what you're trying to say.....
Bases loaded, batter hits a ground ball to the SS, as the SS is trying to field the ball, runner from second makes contact with the SS as he attempts to field the ball.
A: interference on runner, runner out, batter awarded first base, no run can score.

yes, the out at first is a appeal and thus a Time play.

stkjock's post in Does the run score was marked as the answer
Yes, once F3 touched first the force on R1 was removed, therefore, R1 has to be tagged, this makes the 3rd out a time play.
since in your situation R3 scores before the tag, the run counts, how was it ruled in your game?
