There should be no problem with code providing the box is big enough for the
number of wires you are stuffing into it. There are limits to the number of
wires you can use. Boxes come in different Cu In sizes and there are
calculation tables for the number and size wires allowed.
I would not feed from the outlet, you should pigtail off of the branch
circuit itself. If you feed from the outlet and the outlet fails so does
everything else down the line.
