Maybe that is why these guys are trained to do what they are doing...seems a little bit odd to me.

Sure you can try for 2B on a walk. To summarize LL rule 7.13, the runner must stay on his base once the pitcher has the ball and is on the pitchers plate and the catcher is in position to catch. As in regular OBR the ball stays live until and unless there is a reason to call time.
This holding up the pitcher/pointing the ball in is a combination of bad habits and a lack of training.
