I think intentional walks do count as 1 pitch. The further into the red a pitcher gets in a game, the more walks and homeruns he'll give up and the fewer strikeouts. I believe fatigue used to have an effect on BABIP but I believe it no longer does. So if you're playing in a historical league sometimes that little bar can mean next to nothing (of course the other issue is that you greatly increase the chances of the pitcher getting injured if he plays tired).

I'm not sure exactly what the next question means. I think the game adds up pitches and considers level of fatigue after the pitch is thrown but I wouldn't be surprised if under the hood it's a relatively linear gradient rather than a "oops you suddenly went into the red now you're toast" thing.
