Scenario...ambidextrous pitcher on the mound with a switch-hitter approaching the plate. Who must declare first? And, is the declaration binding for the entire at-bat?

This time of year, I'll assume you are playing by OBR.
Rule 8.01(f) states that the pitcher declares first and can't switch until the batter is retired, becomes a runner, or is replaced by a substitute.
Thank you, sir...most appreciated.
