I use an indicator on the bases. If nothing else, it helps me keep my head in the game and stay focused on every pitch.

Never saw a ball bag in the field. Not sure what you would put in it. Seems like it would slow you down too.

I keep a non metallic watch in my ball bag when I am behind the dish and I wear it on my wrist when I am in the field. Most of our games are timed and it is useful to know where you are.

I don't talk with coaches during a game, but I do occasionally talk to my partner say every other inning or so. Some like it, some don't. You learn which is which pretty quick.
