I'm aware that electric blue and German blue are just color variations of the same species. What happens if you have a pair of each in a tank? Is it possible that they cross mate? If so, what happens with the fry, as in is it just a crap shoot which variety you get for each individual fry, or will it be more of a blending?

They can mate just fine. The offspring will vary. Many will look pretty much like your garden variety Blue Ram and many will have some attributes of the electric blue strain, but I doubt any will have the pure electric blue colors.
