We drove from Cody into the northeast entrance of Yellowstone this past fall, and did take the Chief Joseph highway. It is a beautiful drive and I would recommend taking that route.
We considered the same options as the OP, and decided to unhook and drive the toad separately. In hindsight, I think we could have made it "hooked-up", but at the time we just weren't sure.
We have found in the past, that when towing on a mountain pass I spend too much time "driving" and don't get to see the sights as well. Driving separately works well for us, as my wife is very comfortable with mountain driving.
We stayed in a NF campsite near Cooke City, and took the toad on a day trip over the Beartooth and back.
