My Question is how do you perform a 3 star alignment when driving the mount without the Synscan controller in the loop but just driving with Stellarium or some other software through ASCOM and EQMOD?

You can't do it with Stellarium but I am not sure about EQMOD. A 2/3 star alignment is an algorithm calculated in software (or firmware) that finds the attitude of your system relative to the location of 2/3 stars.
You need to do this to align the telescope/mount before connecting to an external program.
