the return pipe will have to go over the back wall. unless you want to drill a hole for return piping. i would just go over the back. it gives you more flexability and the ability to move it down the road.
as for the overflow, i have looked at it, and it is really loud on the videos. plus i really dont like the design. thats not to say it wont work.
where is the tank going? if in the living room, the it will be loud. if you have a fishroom behind the tank, it might not be as big of a deal.
give us some more information.

I purchased one, but never hook it up. It looksl ike it would work. that said, they have added a new baffle to it that should completely eliminate the sound. the water is now forced to flow underneath to where the drains are located.
Im selling mine for what I bought it for. $150 shipped. Never used, still in bubblewrap.

1.5 or 2" should be fine. Do 1" ID bulkheads.
Overflow box, well, whatever size you want really. I'd do one just deep enough that the elbows facing downward prevented any snails from crawling up in the siphon or durso style.

i use a dart as a return pump and it runs wide open. i use 2-1in drains. one is solid siphon, and the other is regular durso.
1.5in should be plenty. one at solid siphon and the other two as backups. or one as a secondary drain with third as emergency.
you want a large enough internal box so you dont hear water cascading over the overflow

here are my build threads. they are close to the same.
i have a single corner overflow box.
it uses 2 - 1" drains and a single 1" return.
the dart uses 1.5in return, but the tank was already this way.
so i go 1.5in up to the 1" bulkhead and then i go back to 1.5 across the back with multiple lockline outputs.
