It depends largely on the output from the deck.
According to Pioneer's website the single RCA outs are 'rear'
So you could split them to give signal to both sets of inputs on your X-over.
You'd lose the ability to fade F/R with the deck if you did this.
Yes, you can use the Urban Audio active crossover with the Pioneer head unit but you will need separate amplifier channels for the tweeters, mids and if you have them, sub(s).
If you plan to run the front stage externally amplified and the rear speakers off the head unit amplifier you can to that and retain the fader but it will be backward. If you don't have or don't want to bother with external amps then you need to use the passive crossover you linked in your second post.
Personally, I would abandon the rear speakers as they will only serve to bring the sound stage backward but, if you don't mind sitting at a concert with your back to the band, by all means keep them.
