The Nantex ship ability says "After you execute a maneuver you may gain 1 tractor token to perform a [rotate] action".

Since the wording only says "execute" and not "fully execute", does that mean you can bump, tractor yourself, barrel roll off the bump, rotate your arc, and perform your normal action still?

You can definetely tractor yourself off of it. Dunno about taking your action though. I think because it was your actual maneuver that made you overlap (rather than an Aileron move for example) you would still have to roll a dice (if its an asteroid) and skip your action (if an asteroid or gas cloud).

This is correct. Bumping in the first place is what causes you to lose your Perform Action step, not being at range 0 of the thing you bumped.

Ok, then what about performing a red maneuver? Can you put the tractor/rotate in the action queue before the stress is applied?

You won't have executed a maneuver until after the "check pilot stress" step, so the stress would come first.

My first thought is that you can't tractor yourself, since you generally need to be able to do the benefit, in order to pay the cost. But I'm not 100% sure, so it'd be good for others to share their takes.

Yup. The replacement effects ruling has changed, but it hasn't changed the fact that you can't pay the cost for an effect you can't do, or vice versa.
