Yes but y would he want to?How do I pick a favorite MLB team if...?
No, except the catcher, who is required to be in his box which is in foul territory.As long as they've got one foot in fair territory, though, that's good enough. The first baseman could hang over the line if he wanted.
No - their position requires them to be on the field of play, i.e. between the foul lines (except the catcher). HOWEVER, they can pursue a fly ball into foul territory to make a play.

why would he want to besides the catcher?How can we push for a metro stop at Dodger Stadium?
No, he can't step into foul territory, but he can be leaning into it. For example, the first baseman might think that the batter is going to pull the ball towards foul territory and leans into the foul territory.The only player who is always in foul territory is the catcher, who is required to be to play his position.
P.S. Players can chase the ball into foul territory.
No(except for the catcher of course). Keith Hernandez was known for regularly violating this rule when he was holding a runner on first base, but he was rarely called on it. The reason he did it was to make it easier to tag the runner on a pick-off throw.
