If there is a man on 2nd and 3rd and the batter walks can the runner on third try to steal home while the runner is on his way to first base?

Live ball, he advances at his own risk.
Yes;
It is a live ball and since the runner is not forced to the next base, he can steal.
Have you ever noticed that when a batter has been walked, coaches sometimes come out of the dugout wanting time? An ump does not grant time until the batter-runner reaches first base, because it is a live ball situation.
