mdrun does follow the topology, so no problem there. You can even give a
new default parameter to genbox to give your atoms slightly larger
radius.

for pdb2gmx the only requirement is that all atoms within a residue have
different names, usually they are numbered. Isn't there some standard
for naming atoms in sugars?

In principle pdb2gmx should work even with crosslinks (specified through
specbond.dat), if you have a good structure.
