1) it can work... how much does your return pump move/ hr? That will dictate if u use the 3/4" as part of 2 active drains or the emergency... If u use it as the emergency it may not be able to handle the flow.
2) reducing to 3/4 will restrict flow... After it is reduced it doesn't really matter if u stay at 3/4" or upsize to 1". Going back to 1" will result in more gentle flow at the outlet.
