On a try
can A request the ball be moved to a hash, after the RFP? Would this require a time out?

If that request is supposed to be honored, then there's something wrong with the rules on readying the ball for play!

My experience is that the center normally knows where they want the ball and will request that it be moved prior to the ready. If they request it after the ready for play, then the Umpire should ignore the request. If a team has asked for it to be moved, I will ask them if they want it moved and avoid the whole problem.

ART. 2 . . . The try begins when the ball is marked ready for play. It ends when:
a. B secures possession. b. It is apparent a drop kick or place kick will not score. c. The try is successful. d. The ball becomes dead for any other reason. Can I buy a new spot with a time out though???

Nope.
From the Casebook: 4.3.6 SITUATION: Prior to the ready-for-play on a try, A’s captain requests the ball be placed on the right side hash mark. A then deploys in a spread formation. (a) A1 does not like the defensive coverage and requests a time-out; or (b) a dead-ball foul occurs. The captain of A then asks the referee to move the ball to a position midway between the uprights. RULING: The request is denied in (a) and honored in (b). The captain may, in seven situations, ask that the ball be placed at a certain point between the hash marks. However, once spotted the ball may not be moved because of a second request. If a dead-ball foul occurs, or a foul occurs during the down and the penalty is accepted, the captain again will be given an opportunity to pick a spot for the replay. The request for placement of the ball is permissible for a try or kickoff, after a safety, fair catch, awarded fair catch, touchback, or the start of each series, using the 10-Yard Line Overtime Procedure.
