Also just so you know take everything I am telling you with a grain of salt..... I am still trying to learn myself so I may be wrong and right about somethings. This is my understanding of the questions you have asked.

Yes and NO..... If the front leg is independent it isn't controlled by anything. It will move independently........ If you maintain the pressure between the legs. The rear leg moves the front leg, it will start to rotate inward pulling on the pelvis and in return the pelvis pulls the front leg into an outwards rotation.

I consider the front leg a no teach..... My DD has worked with instructors before that wanted an independent front leg and they tried teaching it to her but did not stick..... The front leg is never part of my instruction with her.
I am assuming that you are working with some hitters or daughter/daughters...... Post some video to get some direction from the members I think it will be much more beneficial then just asking random questions.
