    For a UGUI button, instead of selecting the script and the method in the inspector, can I set those elements off the button using a script instead? And if so, how?

    As @Rin-Dev says, you probably want to use the event approach. However, for completeness, yes, you can "attach a script to a button" (more accurately, attach a component implemented by a script) with 
    AddComponent<MyComponentScriptName>()
    .
