Is there a way to do that?
Yes put everything in a bone layer and bind the left arm and the man to the same bone. When you move that bone it moves both together.
I still prefer having the extra arm layer AND the ball layer inside the "man" bone layer. It's so easy to just make the ball layer invisible. You just add an extra bone in the man bone layer that isn't part of the rig and bind the ball to that to move it around. You would want a SECOND ball layer for him to catch and hold. An extra ball layer bound to a hand bone that is hidden most of the time. This is all much "easier" to do in one bone layer. Ultimately you need a top level bone layer to link everything anyway.

All of your first set of questions could've been answered simply by reading the manual through on your own.
I like forums better than manuals, I like discussing things and I can get a lot of tips and different techniques people use.

Why didn't I think about that? That's a very simple and obvious solution!

May be true, I will play around and see what suits me best
