At the very least I imagine we could land a probe on one or even tether to it as a means of getting the probe going very fast before it even starts to use it's fuel

Landing a probe on one doesn't save any fuel, because the probe has to match the trajectory of the asteroid in the first place - which means its going wherever the asteroid is going already.
