A. Yes, there are no rules prohibiting that.

The Q and A states that there are no rules prohibiting human players from holding litter while the robot touches the RC. However, there are rules which, under certain circumstances, prohibit this action. The game manual is the higher authority in this case.
Quote:
G27 ROBOTS and anything they control (except for LITTER in the LITTER CHUTE and TOTES in the TOTE CHUTE), may not contact
anything outside the FIELD.

In this case, the robot is controlling an RC and that RC is touching a noodle that is outside the field. The exception for litter/tote in the chute applies to what the
robot is controlling, not what is
outside the field.
As the rules are written, it seems pretty clear that this move is illegal.
