Can Batteryman Industrial Strength be Special Summoned from the GY by its effect?!
Batteryman Industrial Strength's effect would attempt to Special Summon itself.
No. Its effect only allows Special Summoning from the hand; it does not mention the GY.
Can Batteryman Industrial Strength target Judgment of Thunder and let it chain in the same chain?!
Industrial Strength is Summoned and targets a set Judgment of Thunder in the summon response window.
Yes. Industrial Strength is an ignition effect (Chain Link 1) and Judgment of Thunder is a Normal Trap (Chain Link 2).

● If one target leaves the field before this resolves, the other is still destroyed.
