Can the Worm Tub's extra alcohol replace water or yeast in the washback, and does it skip buying them?

No. The Worm Tub's two extra alcohol cards are added together with the one-alcohol-per-sugar step, and which slot they sit in does not matter because the washback is then shuffled. They do not stand in for water or yeast: you still need at least one card in each of the Water and Yeast rows to begin distilling.
