No, I wouldn't try that. If your dryer is running, the lint can come out of the bathroom vent, of if your bathroom vent is running, it can come into your dryer.

Vent the two items seperatly.

When you vent your dryer, avoid unnesssary turns, and keep the run as short as possible to help eliminate clogs that can be a fire hazard.

Can't, it is against building codes exactly for the reasons andrew states.
