Is it legal for a DL to tackle a RB behind LOS who is attempting to run a screen pass?

No. See Rule 9-3-, and I believe it's subsection 4 for the details.

You can as long as the ball isn't it the air when contact is made.

Eta: this is also the best way to stop a bootleg waggle. Just tackle the underneath route as they release.
