The capacitive touch sensor has 3 pinouts: Vin, GND, and OUT and emits an active high signal when the pad is touched. I should be routing the OUT pin to any one of the digital input pins on my Arduino Micro, correct?

Also, I need to power 2 of these capacitive touch sensors along with an IMU. How do you power multiple sensors on the Arduino Micro? There is only one GND pin and one 5 V pin. I would prefer if it could be done without a breadboard as this entire setup will be placed in a stylus.

Probably, yes. Without more details about what the sensor is we can't really comment.

You can plug as many (within reason) items into the +5V and GND pins as you like. You can twist wires together, use screw terminal blocks, breadboard, solder, whatever you like, to connect the wires together to a single wire that goes to the pin.
