Answer 1

You can integrate Elgg with any CMS, or any DB driven sites provided you have a knowledge of the Elgg API's and general php. You can share the session between the Elgg and your external software, or use the Elgg's API to check the user login status and make the users login / register depending on that.

Answer 2

there is currently no way to integrate a drupal and an elgg website directly. However, you can set them up as 2 separate websites on different subdomains. And then add drupal/elgg modules to create the linkages you desire. It depends on what features you want, so you can have redirects to the drupal site to add the content. And then on the elgg site, you can have a module there that pulls the drupal content and displays it.
