Can wallet.dat copies be used by several miners on different computers to get all generated bitcoins to a single wallet?

Make sure you back up your wallet regularly! Unlike a bank account, nobody can help you if you lose access to your BTC.

That's not possible, as new keys are added to the wallet with each generated block. Use the the RPC interface to send coins to a single wallet.

well, you could use a single (getwork-patched) bitcoin-node and connect multiple miners to it.
works well with gpu-miners, although it eats some mhashes, not sure about cpus.

You could modify Bitcoin so that they all use the same key for generation transactions.
