We had a similar requirement, our was Escalate the the Approver's Manager and set to Current Manager.

We created a UI Action button for each case and restricted the access to the Service Desk users.

 Name: Escalate to Approver's Manager

Table: Approval [sysapproval_approver]

Condition: current.state == 'requested' && current.sysapproval.sys_class_name != 'wm_order'

Script:

var mgr_mgr=current.approver.manager;
if(mgr_mgr){
    current.approver=mgr_mgr;
    current.update();
}

Name: Reset to Current Manager

Table: Approval [sysapproval_approver]

Condition: current.state == 'requested' && current.sysapproval.sys_class_name != 'wm_order'

Script:

var gr=new GlideRecord(current.source_table);
gr.addQuery('sys_id',current.document_id);
gr.query();
if(gr.next()) {
    var mgr = gr.requested_for.manager;
    if(mgr!=current.approver && mgr){
        current.approver = mgr;
        current.update();
    }
}

Hope this helps
