Will a USB to Serial adapter allow me to record to and play from an external hard drive?

No.
The serial port is 115200 baud, which will give you an throughput of ~10KByte/s. It takes 200 KByte/s for a low quality recording up to 1 MByte/s for very good quality recording. The quality is dependent on the channel, you cannot adjust this on dreambox itself.
The only way you can record with a dm500 is through the ethernet port, but the dm500 is known for its trouble with recording over a lan. You might be lucky.

Can a NAS device like the LyncSys 2 bay storage device shown in the photo be attached directly to the 500S to record and play?

Probably, but if you want to spend so much money it might be wiser to upgrade your dreambox.
The 500 will almost always create drop-outs or hickups while recording or playing.

And a 600 will not, because of the interal hdd.
Or even a 7020. So it's what you'd want as an extra.
A 500 with a NAS is nice, but not the costeffective or quality assuring.
