You should be okay, the stuff is just a strong alkali (I'ts still a bit poisonous). As long as the bowl it fell in is non-porous (i.e. glazed), none of the chemical will remain.

The battery stuff depends on the battery type, it's caustic and wreaks things (sulfur, some other chemical). As for the bowel, it cleans well, it should be fine. But if it's pitted, it will not be very sterile, and you should toss it.

Perhaps so, but a laxative is much more efficient.

If you wash it real well then it should be fine.
