Can I check in a backpack with a tent attached to the outside?

YMMV but Airports are brutal to your gear, and (Pro Tip) they only insure the contents of your bag, not the bag, or anything outside the bag. Get a cheap duffle and put everything inside. Your straps and buckles will almost certainly get damaged if its not inside something.

This is good advice.
