I guess where I get confused is the IP addresses on the tun0
interface. I'm assuming I can accomplish what I want by having the
IPs be local to that network (so it doesn't go out the default
route) and then NATing that interface? I'm not sure, as we haven't
figured out what the IP scheme should be.

Specifically what's the IP address on a tun interface, and how does
it relate to the pointopoint IP address that you can also assign?
