That would be considered rating manipulation and isn't recommended 
Can someone continually draw with me so my rating will go up?
Sort:
will it cause a ban or anything of the like if I do?
Yes.
At least you did not suggest resigning...
...but nevertheless, do not try this at home (or anywhere).
But if you manage to earn one or two hard-fought legitimate draws, then it's perfectly alright.
That is considered cheating plus other person needs to lose points by drawing if you want to gain, so its also kinda selfish

A related question, if I were to start a game against a player ~50 points weaker than me and offer him a draw before the game so that I get my rating down from 2401 to a nice, neat 2400, would that be considered rating manipulation?

perma ban from chess imo
It can happen, especially in tournaments. A player, who is almost guaranteed of winning a tournament with a 1 point lead above the second-best player might offer a draw in the final game to a weaker player even if the opponent's rating is lower.
I've found winning games helps my rating go up. You could always try that if you get stuck.

If you did it one time? Technically maybe, but not something that is likely to cause a problem.

I believed he was being sarcastic, but my question has nothing to do with what i thought or felt. I am trying to understand your thoughts. So if I understand you, sarcasm and toxic are equal right?

No, you misunderstand. I interpret his sarcasm as a form of toxicity. By doing this he was clearly not meaning to be helpful or factual. He intention was to mock me for my question, which therefore is being toxic.
