The waste hole for my shower tray is located in the middle, but the existing waste pipe is not aligned with it. Should I route the waste pipe under the floor to match the position of the waste hole, or is it possible to reroute it above the floor, given that the tray will be installed on a wooden base?

If you have room to do above then that’s fine, careful measurements should ensure it’s easier to make final connection.
If it's going onto a plinth then just size the plinth height to take the shower waste - 68mm baton and an 18mm ply/OSB3 top would do it - if that isn't too high a plinth.

You could.
As suggested - you could.
Only thing I would say about that is, the floor and wall couldn't be tanked properly to ensure it was water proofed, if you were looking to do that.
True - I’m trying to avoid cutting into the chipboard as it’s a headache to get secure again.
Ideally you cut it on the joists, centre to centre so it can be edged screwed back down. If not then just underpin it, If P5 needs fixed between the T&G sections then just use a strip of wood, at least 25mm thick and at least 50mm longer than the hole you cut either side, fit it under the hole and then screw it up either end, fit in the cut section and then screw that to the baton. If it's over large then use 2 batons
