         a[na++] = $2
         b[nb++] = $3
}
END { 
       for(i = 0; i < na; i ++){
            print ("######" a[i] " " b[i] "#####")
            print (a[i] "_" b[i])
            print (b[i] "_" a[i])
       }
    }
' input

With your shown samples, please try following awk code. Written and tested in GNU awk should work in any awk.

awk '
/^#/{
  sub(/^#/,"##### ")
  print $0,"  #####"
  val1=$2
  val2=$3
  print val1"_"val2 ORS val2"_"val1
  next
}
{
  print $1,val1 ORS $1,val2
}
' Input_file

Explanation: Adding detailed explanation for above.

awk '                          ##Starting awk program from here.
/^#/{                          ##Checking condition if line starts from #.
  sub(/^#/,"##### ")           ##Substituting starting # with #####
  print $0,"  #####"           ##Printing current line follows by ##### here.
  val1=$2                      ##Creating val1 which has 2nd field in it.
  val2=$3                      ##Creating val2 which has 3rd field in it.
  print val1"_"val2 ORS val2"_"val1  ##Printing val1 _ val2  newline val2 _ val1.
  next                         ##next will skip further statements from here.
}
{
  print $1,val1 ORS $1,val2    ##Printing 1st field val1 ORS 1st field val2 here.
}
' Input_file                   ##Mentioning Input_file name here.
