As a private pilot that is planning to take a student pilot flying in a few days.. Are there any benefits for him to fly with me other than to learn by watching me? There isn't anything he could log could he?

I hope you don't have any bad habits his CFI will have to break later

If he was under the hood, could he log sole-manipulator with the PP acting as safety?

Slightly minority opinion here.
Agree with all that has been said regarding logging time toward any FAA requirement for experience, training, or currency.
When my student pilot son with 50+ hrs flies with me, he files left seat and has the controls the whole flight. He logs that total time, but 0 for PIC and 0 for dual and 0 for X/C. However, we do include that time in the experience we put on the insurance form each year.
Get a CFI to sit in the back seat then he can log sole manipulator. Hell I'll do it. Where do you live?
Specifically it's not allowed for student pilots. That reg starts "A sport, recreational, private, commercial, or airline transport pilot may log pilot in command flight..."There is no such thing as "sole manipulator" time. One can log PIC time when acting as the sole manipulator of the controls in an aircraft for which that person is rated (category/class/type).
