Yes, if the joint between the 2 width of pipes is made to be tightly closed so that no leakage would occur. The best would be to use a connector with a 1 inch diameter at one end and a diameter of 1.5 inches at the other end. Or maybe, if the 2 pipes are vertical, to put the 1 inch pipe into the 1.5 inches pipe and seal the 2 pipes with a good amount of resistant tape so that the water will go straight from one pipe to the other with no leakage. But with hot water draining from the washer, even with the cold water, the tape solution is probably just a temporary solution, because the tape would break down after some time.

How do you change a bathtub drain to a laundry washer drain?

Washing machines pump out a large volume of water and todays standards require a 2 inch drain pipe. Bathtubs generally have a one and one half inch drain. So bathtub drain will have to be increased to 2", including trap and 18 to 24" standpipe to operate correctly, and connected to the closest existing 2" line or larger line. Same 11/2 venting can be used.

My washer and dryer are currently in my basement and I would like to install it on the main floor but don't know how to install the pipes for the drain to still go into the basement drain?

Without knowing the layout or type of drain pipe and location, it is impossible to give a good answer. Drill a hole in the floor and run the drain with PVC. Drains should fall 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch for every foot of distance. Horizontal distance. There may be a drain line that is closer to the first floor location that you can tap into. Washer drain does not need a vent, it gets it's venting around the washer hose.
