Yes, you can sue him for malpractice unless (i) he had a very good reason for doing so, or (ii) it has not hurt your case.

That depends on the reason your attorney gave for dropping the appeal.

I don't understand why he filed a motion to dismiss an appeal that he filed. The appellant (through his/her attorney) can simply file a dismissal.
