He has to be an Iqama holder to get eligible to apply for a family or visit visa; which is not the case here.
However, he may talk to his company to get a business visa for you as well (just like his) and you'll be able to visit along. It's cheap; around $130 a month.

Yes, it's quite easy. MY Human Resources (HR) dept does it a lot for our consultants we bring from aboard. In dependent's visa application, they simply write "Accompanying dependent".
