How do you step with your right when you have to throw a runner out at another base?
Too many steps. If you are right handed step with your left.
IMO you absolutely have to get the out at first, first before you can do anything about getting the next out. On wide throws to the right, stepping out with your right foot increases your reach approx. 2 feet v. always stepping out with your left foot (assuming RH thrower). Being comfortable and instinctive stepping out with the appropriate foot to adjust to errant throws will result in more outs/fewer free bases on 'bad' throws in the long run. As far as being quicker to throw to the next base, if you step out with your left, the next move is a forward drop step with the right, then another step with the left so that's 2 steps. Step out with your right and you may need only 1 step with the left foot before launching a throw. But even it doesn't, how many plays per game does the 1B make and how many of those plays require an immediate throw to another base? And if that other runner is so important, make the initial play on her (or pull early and sacrifice the out at 1B to ensure getting that runner).
Learning to set up, switch feet, and then transition to throwing takes lots of time and practice but it pays game dividends (and is noticed by those who aren't easily impressed).
