Answer 1

The way i see that is to do an Event Handler... or you could do it via a Workflow on the Check Box column

Solution with Event Handler

a. So you would need another list with the item you mentioned being a lookup in that list with another column with your check box
b. You could do either through JQuery or a Custom Event Handler what you are discussing


Solution with Workflow

A. same as in he above (a)
B. You have a SPD workflow that inserts whatever into another list.

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

What i understood is tht , u dont want to add an extra column for check box in the list, You only want to include an option in the view.
If this is the case , then workflow or event handler may not be a solution , bcz the checkbox is not in the schema of the list.

Better to create a custom webpart for this view and add an extra column for check box in the table along with other list columns and attach an onclick server side event with checkbox  which will copy the list item in another list using OM. To track the list item you can use list item ID field as a check box control id or name.
