First of all, Welcome to Chennai
Regarding the Route, I hope AR Ram sir can help you out here.
But, I can able to let you know the road condition from B'lore to Chennai.
From Banglore - Vellore -> it is a newly Tared Six lane road with few diversions at some places.
from Vellore - Chennai -> Six lane road ends at Walaja(Next to Vellore towards Chennai) toll booth. After that, Normal 4 lane NH with some good number of patches.
Places near Chennai: Marina, Mahabalipuram, Malls, Besant Nagar Beach, Adayar children's park are the places to Visit inside the city.
If you want go to Pondy, then have a pleasant drive in ECR road.
As you are crossing Vellore, why don't you visit Golden Temple in Vellore?which is around 10Kms from NH.
Yes, we can have a meet in Chennai.
I guess, you will be coming in Vento this time.
BTW, let us know your plan.
