Is there a way to instruct c# compiler to output source at different stages of compilation: source after syntactic sugar removed, …, IL.
Perhaps some tools (Resharper?) do this, but I’d like to know how they do that.

No there is not. The C# compiler doesn’t produce any intermediate output. It either produces errors / warnings or an assembly.
Getting the IL can be done with ildasm. This is a tool that ships with .Net that will display the raw IL for assemblies
