Can a drain pipe rise up and then down for a small portion of the run if the slope of the overall run is quite steep?
You can do this with something like a storm water pipe. Storm water is basically clean and there is unlikely to be any problem with build up of sludge in the pipe. You should not do it with sewerage pipe as it will cause it to block up eventually

If you have a drain available. You may need to chip some concrete around the drain to install the bottom half of the drain.

Why would your house smell like sewer whenever you run the washer or dishwasher?
I suspect that you have a "p" trap in either a floor drain, or possible the laundry tub or a sink somewhere in the house. If you look under the kitchen sink, or a lavatory in the bathroom you can see a p-trap, it's shaped sort of like the curved part of the letter p. The purpose of the p-trap is to trap, or prevent, sewer gasses in the sewer lines from backing up into the house. By design, p-traps catch and hold some water, which blocks the pipe and stops the gas from coming up through the drain. IF you have a floor drain, or a lavatory drain, either of which don't get used enough to keep the water in the trap from evaporating away, leaving the drain pipe open, then when a lot of water is poured or flushed, pumped out of a washer, then that flowing water will push sewer gasses back up through the drain with the dry p-trap. What you are smelling is sewer gas.
When water runs from your drain i have a water tank but no sewerage where does it go?

Should you add shock after a rainstormThe water level is quite high following the storm-should I drain someShould the pump run during the storm?
You should boost the chlorine. level somewhat. I would not drain unless there is another storm coming. Why waste the water? For that mater you can avoid having to drain the pool altogether by put in in a floating pool skimmer no mater how high the water gets it works a 1,000 percent better then the existing static skimmer A: hmmm, I don't quite understand just how a floating skimmer will prevent the water from overflowing at the coping. Skimmers have nothing to do with removing excess water from the pool! In the answer above, you have got to mean add an overflow pipe at the water line and have it drain to the street or somewhere off the property. Boosting the chlorine answer is ok but in addition I would run the filter/pump to clear out the contaminants that the rain would add and that could also be from the splash of rain on the deck or off the roof or rain gutters. Only drain the water off if the storm is a strong one with lots of rain or if there is another rain storm coming in soon. k
