Yes. . . . . .you need two things. A stereo patch cable with 1/8" male plugs on each end.Also you need an adapter with a female stereo 1/8" input-to-1/4" mono output.
The patch cable plugs into the mp3 player where the headset usually plugs in.The other end of the patch cable plugs into the 1/4" adapter,and finally the 1/4" male end of the adapter plugs into the guitar amp.You can usually get there items at your local Radio Shack.

Can you hook lead guitar directly to the mixer and then back to its own guitar box?

Yes, but the 'lead guitar' sound (with distortion and other effects) won't be heard at the mixer. You will do better to connect a line out (if it has one) or mic the guitar amplifier to get the tone of the speaker plus any distortion or overdrive you need.
