Why is a Master Sergeant called top in the Marines?
It started in the Army. A master sergeant in the Army is the "top" enlisted person of a command. Master sergeants are laterally promoted to first sergeant upon selection by the senior leadership at Department of the Army, depending on available billets and opportunities. Upon reassignment to a non-first sergeant billet, the soldier reverts back to their original rank of master sergeant. First sergeants are generally the senior non-commissioned officers of company sized units, and are unofficially but commonly referred to as "first shirt", "top", "top sergeant", "top soldier", "top kick", or "top hat", due to their seniority and their position at the top of the company's enlisted ranks.
What was the difference between a Master Sergeant and a First Sergeant in WW2?
In the United States Army, the rank of First Sergeant (abbreviated as 1SG) is above Sergeant First Class, below the ranks of Sergeants Major and shares the paygrade of E-8 with Master Sergeant. The rank of First Sergeant carries more responsibility than the rank of Master Sergeant, and the rank may be either given to the soldier upon promotion to the paygrade of E-8 or they may be "laterally promoted" (promoted in rank but not paygrade) from Master Sergeant at a later date. They are also known unofficially as Top Sergeant or just Top, due to the fact that First Sergeants are the most senior non-commissioned officers in an Army company. Right - that is Current, but what was the difference during World War II, when Master Sergeant was technically higher than First Sergeant (Although both E-7)? - Master Sergeants were higher in responsibility than FSgt's. Master Sergeants were commonly Battalion level NCO's during WWII, also more experienced members of the Armored and Air Corps. First Sergeant was the most senior NCO positions in a Company.

Can a master sergeant take over first sergeant if he leaves?
When a First Sergeant leaves, it'll either be because they've been relieved of duty, or are about to be promoted to Sergeant Major. Who replaces the First Sergeant depends on the availability. It may be a Master Sergeant transferred from a staff position, or it may be a Sergeant First Class who is about to be promoted to E-8. You won't find Master Sergeants in line companies - Master Sergeants are found in staff positions.
