I would like to know if it's possible to configure a child squid to query parents using ICP, as standard, but to return a HTTP 302 redirect to the end user browser with the URL for the preferred parent.
No. URLs indicate the location and name of the object to fetch, not the path how to get to the object.
The driver behind this is to develop a high bandwidth content delivery network. Serving more data/bandwidth than any one box could proxy. I would like to build the below architecture.
Ok. Sounds like a reverse proxy setup, not a normal setup?
If it is a reverse proxy setup then returning redirects as you describe is feasible, but some coding is required to implement the function in Squid.
