So sounds like you want to solo a wall... good for you i'll watch. Actually ..no i won't.
But here are a few tips
You can make the haulbag a dynaic belayer by simply clipping it into the same point you tie your lead line into. ie u fall and the bag takes up some of the force from the fall by being lifted up.
Problem with that idea is this.. one nice way to set up your haulbags when soloing is to hang them off a fifi hook so you can haul it up while coming down cleaning the pitch.
SO if you hung the haulbads off fifi hooks on the same point as the lead line then you run the risk of pulling the bag off the anchor when you take a fall and having it fall to the end of it's slack. That just sounds like too much excitement for me.
generally it seems to me that soloing a wall is for peopel who want to brag to other people who really could care less anyway. Not technically all that impressive. No one to enjoy the climb with .. tons of extra work.
best way to do an aid wall is three peeps lotsa fun then and can be just as fast as 2 people ..or faster.
