Suppose I had a reverse-rotation engine turning a stringer outdrive. Since it is a mechanical drive system, could it be shifted into reverse and run at high speed to achieve forward motion? Does a LH prop exist for a stringer outdrive?

No and no. There were no counter rotation drives built. Running in reverse would put all the preloads onto the spiral cut gears wrong and reverse gear is not supported by bearings to take that kind of load.
