I was watching batter-runner and runner on first going to second in case of throw to second. PU said the call at third was my call. Is it? Do I watch the ball or the runners or try to do both?

It's the PU's call. And no, do not move over to bracket a possible run down. However, that does not mean you cannot lend your partner your eyes.
While it is nice to cover both ends of a run down, who is going to take any possible call at 1st or 2nd base on subsequent play after, or maybe even during the run down. Yes, I know it doesn't seem likely, but players don't always stay with the obvious play.
