Take the time to read about the EZ-B within the explore and learn sections of the site, it is all explained in there
To use a microcontroller to control the EZ-B you would need to remove the WiFi module and connect the microcontroller there therefore losing Wifi, losing the ability to use ARC and requiring complex coding to be written for the microcontroller - this is not the intention of the EZ-B and if going down that route you may as well just use an Arduino, it would be simpler, cheaper and would require much less work.
That said, you seem to mention the EZ-B controlling other devices at the end of your post, this is the other way around to the first part of your post (other controller controlling the EZ-B through switches if the tablet battery is dead). Control of other microcontrollers is possible and has been done however there are very few uses for this and any control wouldn't have native ARC controls therefore would require a fair amount of programming/scripting. It's far more cost effective to just add another EZ-B (since the only real reason to control another microcontroller is for additional ports or to take the load off the EZ-B) and since you can connect up to 254 V4s (if memory serves me correctly) it's really not going to be an issue.
Edit - and then Dj jumped in lol
It's just like the Sabertooth motor drivers, you have a dedicated microcontroller on board that takes serial commands and uses them for a specific purpose like controlling motors. You could use an Arduino as a "slave" in this manner
