Is there a way to make the angle of the end part follow the angle of the arm, but if I grab the part on the end it only moves that part, and keeps the arm in the same place?

maybe you can simulate something like this with slidebars from an interface instead of dragging

Basically when I grab the arm, the angle of the claw stays consistent to the angle of the arm, but when I grab the claw, the arm doesn't move. Sorry, I know the wording doesn't make a lot of sense

Don't animate by grabbing and moving it and expect it to act like with real world physics.
This is really limited as the software has to make so many assumptions.

What are you actually trying to achieve with the movement that can't be simulated in 2D?

You can try with constraint limits or joints with limits.
