my question is, since there are two outputs, would it be possible to hook these in parallel to acheive a 120VAC @ 600 watts (5A)?
No, there are two outputs are in parallel for convenience. One must be careful when looking at AC inverters. Often they do not put out pure sine waves. They may be modified sine wave or they are sometimes quasi square waves. Use caution when feeding transformer inputs like power supplies as the unusual input waveform may cause core heating in the transformer.
