1.) Is there something I can install inline to buffer the washing

If the tub is large like a standard wash tub, empty the machine into than
and let it drain into the pump.



2.) Do I need the basket thingy? *Would anything the washing machine,
kitchen sink, or laundry sink be large enough to clog the pump?

One sock can raise hell with it. *Keep the screen

Very common, done in probably millions of homes.

or install a grinder pump, it will take anything not metal and chew it
up, they are used for toilet that lift waste to higher levels
