If I had just 2 fat nodes could I connect the HCAs directly to each other and avoid the switch costs?

Yes.  With 3 nodes it might be cheaper having 2 HCA per node, 6 cables,
than the switch solution.

with 3 nodes, each with a two ports,
wouldn't you need just 3 cables?

how is routing controlled in switchless configs? does IB have node-level forwarding?
