Question:
And before the Shaykh, and before saying "Allahu Akbar," if one enters the mosque and the imam is bowing, is it permissible to go directly into the bowing?

No, you must say the takbirat al-ihram while standing upright before you bend. If you say it while bent over, it is not valid. You must say the takbirat al-ihram while standing upright, then bend into the bowing.
