I have the following question:

If A sends BTC to a stealth address of B, then B sends the same amount of BTC to the stealth address of C, will A be able to see that his coins are now on C`s stealth address ?

You can always trace the coins no matter how you send them.

The only way to be anonymous is to create a complete disconnection.
People usually use mixers AKA tumblers to do so.

This is not the problem that stealth addresses (try to) solve. Stealth addresses can be posted online (e.g. for donations) without the person that it sending payment knowing how many bitcoin have already been donated. You can think of them like a new address for everyone that wants to send you coins. You however can post a single string.

Im not really here, its just your imagination.

User A can see that the coins have moved to a new address, but he cannot determine that the new address belongs to C.

The reasons they have stealth addresses is to make it publicly visible.For example : A donation address for your website.All the transactions from these addresses are publicly available to track how they're being spent regardless of how you have transferred them around.

Quote from SF :

Quote
although you publish a single "stealth address" on your website, the block chain sees all your incoming payments as going to separate addresses and has no way to correlate them.
