For historical clarification, I got this from baseball-excellence.com (where I see a lot of familiar faces :-)
Eric,
With regard to the little league rule, the "must have the ball" only applies to the catcher. See LL rule 7.06(b) Note 2.
I believe this rule was added in 2002 because so many catchers were setting up in the basepath before the throw was even made.
