Can a clue share letters with a visible word without being a form of it, like a clue that starts with BAT while BAT is on the table?
Only if the clue's meaning relates to the words it points to. Sharing letters with a visible word is not illegal in itself: the rules bar forms of visible words and parts of visible compound words, such as earthworm while EARTHQUAKE is visible. A clue that only sounds or spells like a board word is judged by its meaning.
