I wonder if it is somehow possible to place the outgoing part of an underground belt first, because sometimes i build my belts backwards and it would be also useful to split the right and left side of a belts load by just placing a single (instead of both) part of the underground belt. Anyway i tried a lot of things like rotating, replacing etc. but i don't know how to place the outgoing part first.

Yes, you need to concrete some empty piece of land (with no buildings on it) and then blueprint it. Next use it as a regular blueprint (even under already built factories et al)

No, you cannot place the outgoing belt first. However, you can actually build the belt backwards, then, without holding any items in your cursor, hover over either end of the underground belt and hit the “Rotate” key (R by default). This will actually allow you to reverse the direction of an already-placed underground belt without destroying it and placing it in the opposite direction.
