No, the batter isn't awarded 1st; it's only for current baserunners; also, I don't think that a catcher can balk.

When a pitcher balks, only the runners on base are awarded the next base. If no runners are on base, a ball will be charged to the pitcher. An example of the latter is if the pitcher had a count of 2 balls and 2 strikes on the hitter when he committed a balk, the count would then be 3 balls and 2 strikes.

Only the runners advance. The reasoning is that a balk is primarily an offense against the runners, since it gives the pitcher added time to try and throw them out, rather than against the batter.

Only the pitcher balks, and only the runners on base advance because he attempted to decieve the runner. There is no such thing as a balk when no one is on base.

If there are runners on base, they all advance one base. If no runners are on base, the batter is awarded first base.

Just those on base... If the bases are loaded, one run comes in
and no catchers cannot balk

Just the runners, and the pitch is counted as a ball.

No, only the baserunner take the next base, not the hitter.
