Placement of the pronoun"te"

I'm studying some flashcards on Anki at the moment and on one of the downloadable decks there is a cards that reads:

 

'Where shall I pass to fetch you?'

 

Translated as:

 

'Dónde te paso a buscar'

 

I trust this translation as the deck is supposed to have been verified.  But could I also say:

 

'Dónde paso a buscarte?'  This is more natural for me as an English speaker. 

 

Also, is 'Dónde paso para buscarte?' correct?

 

Many thanks!

The subject of the sentences can change of position.

"TE paso a buscar" or "Paso a buscarTE" your fhrase "donde paso para buscarte" is incorrect. It is Donde paso A buscarte? Or Donde te paso a buscar?

Yes, if a phrase has both a conjugated verb and an infinitive or present participle, you can put the clitic pronoun before the conjugated verb or after the participle, as you prefer. "Pasar a buscar" is a set phrase.
