Is it possible to take a database that is using TDE and create a backup file that is not encrypted?
I know that I could create a backup, import into another database (using the key and certificate), turn off TDE and create a backup.

nope. that would defeat the purpose of TDE. if backup was unencrypted then anyone could get an easy copy of the database.
