If I denote a day after today, can both the words "Morrow" and "Tomorrow" be used in the following sentence?

1) I'll meet you morrow/tomorrow.

No, "morrow" is rarely used. It's poetic and possibly obsolete. "I'll see you on the morrow" might have been used once.
But no, stick with "tomorrow".

I have never seen "morrow" used without the definite article and almost always as part of the phrase "on the morrow".

As Raymott remarks this is an archaic usage.
