So if I'm fighting a vampire bat (HP 10), I hit it for 11 damage, but it's attack back rolls a "1" for damage dice, which gives it +2 HP. Is it still dead, or now alive? And if alive, does it have 2 HP or 1 HP remaining? E.g. if I'd hit it for 12+ damage, would that have made a difference? (e.g. even with a 2 HP gain would it still be "dead", if you calculate that from -2 HP or lower, rather than from 0 HP)

Attacks are simultaneous. So a hit of 11 and it would have 1 HP remaining. Hit of 12 and it would have 0 HP and would be dead and you roll for its resurrection ability.
