You can. A Tenor Ukulele is a bit bigger than a standard ukulele, so it might be harder to get the strings to the correct tuning, but it shouldn't be a problem.
Typical ukulele strings are tuned at G, C, E, and A. The C string on a normal ukulele is the lowest string on the instrument. That is because the ukulele uses re-entrant tuning where the G string (4th string) is generally a high G one octave above what would be expected and the second highest string in tone next to the A string (1st string). The white C string (3rd string) is usually the largest string and lowest sounding of the four. Low strings are sometimes wrapped with a very fine aluminum wire to allow it to vibrate correctly. It makes it appear white compared to the other strings, which are typically not wrapped, but plain nylon. Depending on the type of string you buy usually ALL four strings are made of nylon. Some ukulele players, such as the late Israel Kamakawiwo'ole of Hawa'ii, use a low G. The low G, although still smaller in diameter than the C string, is a wound string usually wrapped with silver or aluminum, which gives it the low tonal sound. This is the only time you will see a wound string on a ukulele unless it is a baritone or bass. But on a concert or tenor uke, the large white string you see is simply nylon or gut and is thicker than the others.
I am 99% sure it is the Lanikai SMP-T Solid Monkey Pod Tenor Ukulele
You could certainly tune the Mandolin like that. It just requires the right size strings to be used. You could then use ukulele tabs to play songs, but the sound would be different.
Dulcimers are strung with steel strings. It would be possible to use nylon strings, but it would not have the same sound.
The picture on his web site shows a ukulele that does not have a logo on the head. It doesn't have a recognizable shape that might identify it. It may very well be a custom made ukulele. I think it is a tenor size, but it could be a concert size.

He used a number of different ukuleles in various performances. Most appear to be custom made. His main ukulele was a tenor sized, which looks pretty small in his hands!
