Pretty much if the pitcher does anything other than pitch the ball while his foot is on the rubber, it's a balk. He must always disengage before doing anything else.

With that rule aside, the rest of the questioned incident is balk-free. A pitcher is allowed to throw to any base, occupied or not, to stop a steal attempt.
