Is it possible to serve a stale cache if the backend serves a 503 like this?

Bonus if this can trigger an API or alert

Yep. We have docs on setup at https://docs.fastly.com/guides/performance-tuning/serving-stale-content

We don't have an alert hook built into these systems yet, but it would be pretty cool -- I'll pass on the idea!

These events are logged, so you should be able to alert on them as a part of log monitoring.
