On the Tablet issue Wacom is the deal. Better get a larger intuos even previous line I2 or I3, size matters for accuracy. Recently got a 18x12 new from ebay for $150. For drawing its perfect, though huge for everything else.
On the animated drawing, this could once be done in AE with Vector Paint revealing the illustration, but we all know the story about VP...
Painter is the way to go, but it has a 2Gb framestack limitation, from pre HD era which hasn't been adressed, so saving the script (recorded drawing session) is not an option for intricate high res drawings which exceed 2gb.
I just playback the script and screen capture it....
As for the hand, unless it is something truly slow, after a while it obscures the illustration, and if played in high speed it becomes distracting. So one could begin with the hand visble forthe first bold strokes and the cut into the self animated drawing, with inserts here and ther of the whole scene with the artist drawing. This ususally creates a more pleasing effect.
my two cents

Thanks for the info. Was about to get one soon. From the review I saw it had a ton of pros and barely any cons. I think the user did say that it had problems in mac os vs windows 7 though. Are you running on a Mac? Are you using multiple monitors?
From the specs alone, it shouldn't be having that problem.
These specs are from the review. I'm unsure which Wacom tablet they used for comparison.
Specifications: (Note that these are GREATER than Wacom's specs)
10x6.25" Working Area
1024 pressure levels
4000 LPI resolution
200 (report rate)
Specifications for Wacom's Pen Tablet:
5.8 X 3.6" working area
512 Pressure levels
1270 LPI resolution
133 (report rate)

on a side note to this I would not consider the MonoPrice tablet better than a Wacom, although they are definitely a lot cheaper. There are instances where it works just as well but I found it really hard to do precise things like adding keyframes to audio tracks in Final Cut, the cursor is really jittery when you try to move it slowly so it would always add a keyframe and then move the levels up or down at the same time which was annoying enough for me to just pay the extra money for the Wacom (which I think has been worth it)

One other option, at least for animating the strokes, is to have the illustrator use Corel Painter and a Wacom (or cheaper and better from what I hear, MonoPrice) digitizer tablet. Painter has a recording feature, which will record the whole illustration session and you can export it out as a high resolution QuickTime.
Not sure how that would help with the hand/arm movement, but it would help with the strokes and lines..

ok, if you really want to do it the harder way, predraw everything, then have the hand model fake draw everything, and wipe it back in with lost of masks. painful but another approach.
