No, the right hand is contralateral to the right foot. Ipsilateral refers to structures on the same side of the body while contralateral refers to structures on the opposite side of the body.
The top of the foot is the dorsum of the foot.However dorsum is a synonym for top or back, therefore any body part can have a dorsum, in fact every body has a dorsum - as it is a synonym for back.The word dorsum on its own - without a qualifying "of the foot" would mean a person's back.There is no single word for the 'top' or 'dorsum of the foot' like there is for the bottom of the foot i.e. sole. The word 'sole' represents the entire meaning "bottom of the foot", whereas if one used dorsum one would have to qualify what dorsum one was referring to - i.e. dorsum of the foot. That is probably due to common usage as one can also use sole to describe the underneath of other body parts, objects. If we had the need to refer to the top of our feet as much as we need to refer to the soles of our feet, then it is very likely that the word dorsum, like the word sole, would have no need of the qualifying "of the foot" as it would be implied and understood.
The hand and the foot are examples of body parts that are ipsilateral, meaning they are on the same side of the body.
The arterial network on the dorsum of the foot is called dorsalis pedis. This network is responsible for carrying oxygenated blood to the dorsal surface of the foot.

The opposite of the sole of your foot is the top of your foot, which is also known as the dorsum or the instep.
Yes, when only the toes touch the ground, the foot is usually in a plantarflexed position, where the top of the foot (dorsum) is lifted away from the ground.
Dorsum is a medical term meaning back. For example the dorsum of the hand is commonly known as the back of the hand.
