In theory I dont see why the GPUSB couldnt be used to slew the mount around much like the serial cable does, however straight out of the box, there are currently no drivers to support such operation.
Your best bet is to extend the cable from the mount to the hand controller via a Rj45 -> Rj45 female to female adapter and a Cat5, straight through network cable. Plug the hand controller cable into the mount as usual, plug the adapter into the other end, plug the network cable between the adapter and the hand controller, and then use the short serial to RJ11 cable from the PC to the hand controller (which will then be right beside your computer).
I've never looked specifically, but from memory, slewing through the sky 6 does not update the HC RA/DEC. Last time I tried it, The screen on the hand controller was static. stating that it was pointed at M7, even after multiple slews to different objects..
