Can someone tell me why a variable I pass in the URL (someurl.com/page.php?a=$b) works if I use it in the top part of the code of the next page, yet will not work further down in my code in the same page. (The value of $b is correct at the top of the code, but does not exist anymore in the code at the end of the page).

The value you're sending over in the url will always be available in the $_GET superglobal, which like its name predicts is available anywhere in the script, even in functions. It is also a best practice to always refer to the variable from url in such a manner. So I suggest you change wherever you call the variable to:
That should work.
