If the latter, is there any way to realistically estimate the chance the runner would be thrown out, or are you just guessing?

Only Markus knows this for sure but my opinion and I stress this is just from my personal experience is that it doesn't play enough of a factor if at all.
One of the things I tracked when I was doing the beta was depth,speed and OF arm and pointed out in the same thread I mentioned above that too often the pbp would say the ball was shallow and Joe Outfielder has a cannon for an arm yet my catcher with 2 speed would tag up and be safe.
