Does checking that box mean that a player might get subbed out in a critical defensive emergency, or that he's someone you bring in? Actually, same applies with Pinch Running. I might just be overthinking it, but I'm trying to shift away from the standard settings to make some improvements, and I really got confused about the meaning of those two. In the same vein, how do you judge of someone should be selected to Bunt or go for Hit & Runs? Everyone is just set to not do either for me as far as I can tell.

Most folks find it doesn't work super well. I don't like bunting a lot, but I generally allow bad hitters the option to bunt. As long as they have some BC at least. For my high OPS hitters, I don't ever want them bunting. I only allow guys who hit very well, with high BC to Hit and Run. And usually only when they also show a decent RISP. But again, I don't love the hit and run, so I don't use it a lot. I should probably set my guys who follow speedsters up to do it more often.
