I'm looking to add a custom domain to my email to start building a more permanent identity on the internet (I have been shifting providers since I started degoogling).

I also want to either host a WordPress site or a fediverse instance (haven't decided) like Hubzilla for things like my writings and a general place to find my stuff online and maybe even host a few friends' pages.

Can I buy one domain and use it for both?

That depends on the mail server, but usually yes. The same mail server can handle multiple domains.
