I want to shoot in black and white on a Canon 600D / Rebel T3i so the camera LCD shows a monochrome preview, but I still want the actual capture saved as a full-color RAW file. Is that possible, and if so, what setting should I use?

Just set a black and white picture style but keep the file type set to raw. See this post for more information: Do different "Picture styles" affect RAW output?

Yes. On the Canon 600D / Rebel T3i, set the camera to shoot RAW and choose the Monochrome (black-and-white) Picture Style. The LCD preview will appear in black and white, but the RAW file still retains the full color data.
Picture Style affects the preview and JPEG rendering, not the underlying RAW capture. So if you later process the RAW file, you can convert it however you like, including back to color.
If you shoot RAW+JPEG, the JPEG will be black and white while the RAW remains full color.
