I think that your'e correct to assume that the turbo will help offset low-end power due to the large parasitic effect of the supercharger below the torque band.

its a roots type positive displacement supercharger, so it boosts rigth off idle, then the turbo kicks in at higher rpms, after turbo lag has passed.
i dont think thermal efficiency would drop, as long as they had seperate inlets and intercoolers for each poweradder.
also im positive that a single turbo would out preform a twin tubo on the same application, twins just have less lag
