My water heater leaking inlet gate valve is soldered to 1 inch pipe on both ends.

Can I remove it and just install this compression ball valve....

Sure you can! thats just fine . Dont put teflon tape on your compression valve or the male adapter at the flex conection (as in your pic) it dosent help in that application
