I'd like to know more about how ינאצני is used in Num. 14:11.

I understand it's used as a verb, and the mood is Piel, but is it masculine, feminine, or neuter?

The binyan is Piel, the modality (mood) is indicative, gender is masculine, conjugation is Yiqtol. 

And is it singular or plural?

Singular, refers to the “people” as subject. 

And why does the authorized version translate it into English as "provoke"?

Who knows? I gave up on the AV decades ago.
