Nothing changes I believe. The batter didn't cause this so its considered part of the randomness of the game. Fielder has to make an adjustment to try to make the play
Nope! The official scorer, who makes the determination, takes into account everything about the play. Generally if a ball makes a weird deflection it just counts as a hit. For instance its not uncommon for a pitcher to get hit by a batted ball and the batter to make it to first. No one gets an error for that, even the pitcher.
