Can a fast runner steal or advance past slower runners ahead of it, and does a slow runner block runners behind it?
The rulebook's Running the Bases says a runner may not get its full move because of a slower runner in front of it.

No. A runner cannot pass or advance into a base taken by a runner ahead of it, so a fast or average runner behind a slow one may not get its full move. This also holds on a Stolen Base, where slow runners do not move and block average or fast runners behind them.
