if there is a dead ball out of the box, and the ball is passed to the goalie in the crease, and the goalie passes it back out of the crease, but still in the box, can the goalie get the ball back IN the crease?

Absolutely, as long as it is passed in and not carried in. The only limit on the number of times the goalie can receive a pass in the crease on one possession is "How many times can you do it in 20 seconds and still get the ball across midfield?" Oh, and I guess if they really wanted to they could pass it back to him after clearing midfield, but the 10-count would then be running.

So if the goalie picks up a group ball outside of the crease, can he carry the ball into the crease? I would guess not, but I want to make sure.

No.
