If I were traveling in a vehicle (or on an object, etc.) fast enough to break the sound barrier, would I hear the sonic boom?

Or would I outrun it, as it were? What else - associated with the boom - would I experience?

No.  For a given speed, the shock location is fixed relative to the aircraft, like a bow wave is fixed relative to a ship.  Hearing the sonic boom means that the shockwave has passed over you.  Since the shock is fixed relative to the aircraft, it doesn't pass over you if you're inside the aircraft.
