I am not sure that you can sync UNIX users with Ambari (I have never tried), but I would create UNIX users manually in Ambari.

[#3]

there is no automatic sync from ambari to ranger. but if the user you created in ambari present also in your machine and unix sync is configured in ranger then it will be automatically syncd.

but as there are three ways to sync users in ambari

1) UNIX

2) LDAP/AD

3) File

so there can be following solution that suits your use case

a) either configure same AD server for both ranger and ambari , so users will be in sync

b) if you are creating users manually in ambari then you can use file sync and keep on adding the same users in file what you creating in ambari

Thank you,
