Looks fairly easy to install where I just took the old one out. But
the old one has two wires coming into it, one black, one white. The
instructions for the new one (hasn't arrived yet) shows three wires,
with the third one attaching to a screw on the dishwasher's electrical
box.

Since I only have two coming up from the house panel, can I just run a
wire to something that should be grounded, maybe the drain pipe?

If it's BX, I wouldn't worry about it. The armor shield would act as a
ground.
If it's ungrounded Romex, you could run a seperate ground back to the
panel ( not a pipe), or simply replace the existing breaker with a
GFCI breaker which would provide protection in the abscence of a
ground.

Hmm. No, these are fuses. The wire is (having just looked up Romex and
BX) BX. A white and black wire inside a metal snake-like housing. Then
it sounds ok as is, with the metal sheath providing the grounding.
That's how it was hooked up.
