When they gave Garrus the Terminus Armor in that appearance pack, I instantly thought of making a Shepard akin to the N7 Destroyer in MP, but looking at the powers available I'm not sure what to pick to best replicate the expirience of the Destroyer and his Devastator mode in SP. I'm thinking a soldier shep with marksman + Typhoon maybe, might there be a better choice though?

You're on the right track. A Fortification Soldier might be your best bet.
Devastator Mode is a really combination of Adrenaline Rush(DPS)and Marksman(RoF).
Fortification covers the Destroyer's durability.
No multi-frags substitutes other than the soldier's basic frags.
As for armor...
full N7 gear(with helmet) will provide highest health buff.
Full Hanhe-Kedar plus recon hood will provide the highest weapon damage buff
Collector armor will provide the highest shield buff(I could be wrong about this)

Marksman Sentinel with defensive Tech Armor and Lift grenades(zero points in casting powers) would be another option. Maximize your damage output with Hanhe-Kedar/Recon hood.

You could use Terminus Assault Armor for the ammo increase and shield bonus (plus its the orig. version of what the Destroyer wears in MP anyway).

After a great deal of testing I found that if both Shepard and Garrus wear terminus armour and take the black widow, all enemy units will panic and flee rather than fight the incredible display of ultimate badassery. The reaper on Rannock took one side ways glance at us and immediately fled the system. No jokes guys this is 100% legit, if rather boring.

What's better for the Typhoon? AR or MM?

Marksman will give better DPS... but it doesn't have the free reload.

Can you run both adrenaline rush and marksman at the same time with bonus power on rank 6?

No.
I prefer Adrenaline Rush since you get a small amount of DR from the Hardening evolution.
You can go with Fortification and stack the power damage and DR with Adrenaline Rush, and use explosive burst Incendiary.
As for mods, stability mod is a must on the Typhoon since it still has the increasing recoil bug while leveling up, and there are no ways to counter it outside of using the stability mod (except never leveling the Typhoon past 1). The second mod slot I would recommend as the piercing barrel if you want to stick with incendiary ammo, so you don't lose out on damage against bosses and can shoot through cover thicker than Guardian shields.
Just as a general tip, you'll want to spec rank 5 on your ammo powers for capacity instead of headshot damage, since the gun is ridiculously inaccurate and you'll run low on ammo on a regular basis if it's your only gun. If you don't level up the Typhoon and pick Marksman as a bonus power then I can see going for headshot damage having some merit.
I went with armor piercing ammo as a bonus power and spec incendiary ammo for team use because I like to hang in soft cover and shoot through walls with the gun as a habit from multiplayer. To be honest, if Shepard could get something like a high level cyclonic modulator without sacrificing damage it'd be more fun to use the gun in singleplayer.

I would go Fortification / ARush most likely as well.
But Marksman will do damage more rapidly in a single clip. ARush does damage longer, in effect, since it is a damage boost and free reload.
As for ammo, ARush makes the gun more ammo efficient whereas Marksman increases your ammo use rate... so I would think that ammo capacity armor or the rank in IA would be more beneficial for Marksman rather than ARush.
