From Baseball Reference:

"A squeeze or squeeze bunt is a bunt intended to score a runner from third base. A successful squeeze is scored as a sacrifice hit, unless the batter is safe at first without benefit of an error, in which case it can be a hit. The batter who executes a successful squeeze is awarded a run batted in."

I would score it as a Sacrifice. Only exception would be if the girls was safe on an error. Then a FC.

Above posts are correct. It would be a single if no attempt was made at runner heading home and they still couldn't get batter out at first. There was a play like this in game two of the WCWS I believe.

There are a number of scenarios depending on how it plays out

Batter could be credited with a 1B and RBI

Batter could be credited with SAC and RBI and reached 1st as a result of FC

Batter could reach on error, no sac, no RBI - (think catcher drops ball on tag at home or similar)
