Kennesaw Mountain was the only major battle that Sherman lost while an army commander.

As a subordinate General, he had taken bad losses in a number of skirmishes. And his capture of Atlanta actually represented a failure to destroy the Army of Tennessee - arguably a defeat. That army was of course routed later by George Thomas, technically under Sherman's command, though Sherman was deep in Georgia by then, and incommunicado because the telegraph lines had been cut.

Man took control of US Grants army after Grant's advancement 10 1864?

Sherman. But he didn't take control of Grant's army. Grant concentrated all his forces into two armies, and gave one of them to Sherman, ordering him to destroy the Army of Tennessee. Taking Atlanta was not a major objective. When he failed to destroy that army, Sherman opted for the capture of Atlanta instead, because it would sound like big news in the North and help Lincoln win the election. After that, of course, he devised an entirely new strategy - the March to the Sea.
