Also players are allowed to be in motion during the jump ball. . . That's a quirky rule in Europe, but men are permitted in motion during a jump ball except for the jumpers.

There's nothing that I know of in NF or NCAA that says that players must be stationary. The only thing non-jumpers may not do is (a) move onto the circle or (b) change positions on the circle.
If you're not on the circle, you can move around anywhere on the court. Even if you're on the circle, you can move, as long as you're not changing spots with another player.
"Everybody hold your spots" is a common misconception.

True - but in FIBA you are not allowed to occupy a position directly behind another player, or in any other position that places a player at risk.
