First, is it OK to run Grounding Electrode Conductor(s) inside the
same 2" PVC conduit as the #1/0 Al SER cable feeding my subpanel?
Or do they need to be separated?


It is a Code requirement that they be run in the same conduit.


Could you provide a reference? I'm aware of the code requirement that
the Equipment Grounding Conductor for a feeder be run in the same
conduit as the current carrying conductors, but I'm not talking about
the Equipment Grounding Conductor.


Of course you are -- it's the conductor that grounds the subpanel.
