Pretty much in general でも and ても don't sit well in my mind. There have been a
lot of times I see them in a context in which they don't make sense to me as
"even" or "even if/though" or in the case of でも as で and も individually. In
this case the manner of speech is colloquial so maybe that's why it seems so
odd. What really confuses me is ででも. Can someone explain the use でも and ででも
here?

As a bonus, is にならねぇ just にならない with a a different emphasis?

question
grammar particle-で particle-も
The use of でも and ででも in this sentence
This `でも` means "〜 or something similar". So `メシでも食べて` means "eat some rice or
something". The `ででも` in question is just the action-location-marker `で` plus
the previous `でも`. So `舞台袖ででも大人しくして` means "wait/behave quietly in the 舞台袖 (or
somewhere)".

(Not sure of the best translation for `舞台袖` -- literally the "wings of the
stage", but maybe something like "off-stage" or "off to the side of the stage"
might be better).

Bonus: Yes, your intuition is correct. `〜ない` often becomes `〜ねぇ` in very
casual speech.
