1) No the B/R is not out. He never had complete control over the ball. Also MLB Rules state that the release of the ball must be completely voluntary.

2) It depends here... 1 - The umpire calls the runner out because he was hit by a fair batted ball. Play is stopped and all runners remain at their bases (dead ball situation) 2 - The umpire rules the runner out and calls he batter out, because in his judgement the runner did so on purpose!

3) No You are not awarded a "stolen" base.

4) The game is completed successfuly and reverts to the score of the last completed inning (the 5th)

5) Unless the defensive appeals the runner not tagging up before the next play, the run is considered scored.
