My question is:
If I pay someone cash to redeem his miles because he did not fly often, can he cancel my flight without me knowing it ?
Yes. And as this arrangement is specifically contrary to AA AAdvantage Terms and Condituons, so can AA. They can cancel or demand full walk up fare should you appear at the airport ready to fly. This means you have little recourse if someone accepts your money but fails to ticket you or cancels your ticket.
At no time may AAdvantage mileage credit or award tickets be purchased, sold, advertised for sale or bartered (including but not limited to transferring, gifting, or promising mileage credit or award tickets in exchange for support of a certain business, product or charity and/or participation in an auction, sweepstakes, raffle or contest). Any such mileage or tickets are void if transferred for cash or other consideration. Violators (including any passenger who uses a purchased or bartered award ticket) may be liable for damages and litigation costs, including American Airlines attorneys’ fees incurred in enforcing this rule.

He offers to sell me his miles, but i have to cover the transfer fee and sell price, so i rather have him book for me.
AA has a very active AAdvantage Fraud group in Corporate Security. I'd avoid this at all costs. Your flying could be at risk, and the seller's miles, account and status are at risk.
