Can a runner run backwards to avoid a tag?
Frazz, there is a rule in softball that the batter-runner, between home and 1B, cannot “step backward to avoid or delay a tag.” It’s considered interference. The BR is out and all runners return to the last base touched at the time of the interference.
Can you run backwards on a force out?
The only time a runner should be called out for running backwards is if he has not yet reached first, and stops to back up towards the plate to avoid a tag. Any other baserunner can go back to first, second, or third. And once the batter-runner passes first, he can also back up to any of the bases.

Can you steal on a foul ball?
You cannot steal a base on a “dead” or foul ball.
