A batter places the bat across the strike zone, ready to bunt. The batter doesn't offer at the pitch or move the bat until the pitch sails over the catcher's head. Is this a strike because the batter did not move the bat out of the strike zone?

Bathead moved forward while ball was in flight. Strike.

It depends on what organization rules the game is being played. ASA do not have to pull bat back, NFHS you have to. Does not matter if the pitch is a ball or a strike if bat is in front of batter.So strike NFHS, ball ASA!

it should be ruled a ball. The batter does not need to pull the bat back in ASA

This is not a strike. RS #10. In A.S.A., the batter must move the bat towards the ball to be called a strike.
