Can you use a return ticket the other way?

Yes it's common knowledge, it's in the terms and conditions and common to nearly all airlines. I'd get it in writing that the outbound doesn't have to be taken, the normal way for this to happen is that it's turned into a single ticket, normally all remaining legs are cancelled automatically after one is missed.

It all depends upon the fare type. If it's refundable, you can cancel and re-book. If it's non-refundable then you lose the return fare. Please note, on a round trip ticket, if you want to use one way, you can only use the outbound trip and not the inbound.
