Cross Reference Formula
Is there a formula that can copy all the value entered into a column? For example, if Sheet A has a "Name" column with 50 names. Is there a way for me to enter a formula on Sheet B that copies all those entries any time they are entered on Sheet A?

You could use cross-sheet formulas combined with either a VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH structure to connect the sheets, and when you update the source sheet, it will reflect on the destination sheet.
Another option would be to use so-called helper sheets. In short, copy the row to a helper sheet and then use my method described previously to get the values you need to another helper sheet, and then copy/move the row from that sheet to the main destination sheet.
Another option could be cell-linking.
Would that work/help?
I hope that helps!
