Practicing for my IFR, with a safety pilot (required crewmember)
I am not current at night. Can we fly this way, and achieve

He's PIC and you're just the sole manipulator when you're under the hood,
but you couldn't do the takeoff or landing (unless you could do it under
the hood!) so you can't get current.

You might as well just do the T&Gs yourself before/after since there's
no way you can both be logging time at that point anyway.

Agreed. Further, if something goes wrong, and you ding the plane, do
you really want to be splitting hairs over night currency
technicalities while trying to get the insurance company to pay up?
