This rock retaining wall is slowly sinking into ground over the last 15 years. Instead of taking it all out and building a block wall would it be possible to just push the large rock further into the small slope and building a retaining wall in front of it with posts driven below frost line and treated lumber to hold soil back?

DoItRightTheFirstTime,
Just a word of caution. Make sure you don't seal the space off when you build the wall. Rainwater, snow melt or gardening water need a way to escape before they cause a frost heave problem. If your house has weeping tile, it may be okay to seal it off but why take a chance?
