Instead of running the dump tube down under the car by itself, can you hook it up to the downpipe, and send it out along with the exhaust?

For an external WG - Yes.

I like mine dumped, though - 18" long flex tube to direct it down past the bellhousing, then nothing. We have video of me scaring people on the sidewalk just by cracking the WG open under part throttle...hehehehehehe. Nothing better...

depends on your wastegate setup

depends, for the most power a divorced wastegate is best, but for any turbo to technically be street legal, it has to vent back into the downpipe before the cat and go out the back of the car.
