you can but you'd need a bucket or something to catch the runnings in.

Yes, if you do no sparge. No need for a bucket to catch runnings that way.
Drain the Mash tun right into the Kettle after you have drained it from it's first duty.

Yup, collect runnings into a bucket until the HLT is empty of sparge water.

If you have a second cooler, you can heat your sparge while mashing and then pour it into the second cooler. Then either gravity feed into your mlt or batch sparge using a pitcher.
I set up 3 tier gravity feed fly sparge and get 82-86% eff.

You can also do a brew in a bag. Put all of your grains in a mesh bag and mash. When done, pull out the bag and boil. I just built a keggle for this purpose.

1 Keggle, 1 cooler mash tun and 2 buckets for me. Ialso try to heat up water on the stove to save propane but I do use the keggle to heat and boil.
just make sure the bucket is rated for the temperature you are collecting. Some HDPE buckets are rated at 120*F

Could I just use my fermenting buckets?
Yes you can. HDPE is fine for these temps.
