The simple answer is yes, there are attachments for stands that allow you to put an instrument mic at the right height without having to have two stands.

I would not advocate using one microphone. There are many who do and get great results but in my experience there is usually (not always) a trade off with gain levels, eq settings etc to suit the one which is detrimental to the other.

What amp are you using? The best solution for putting both through the same amp (unless your amp has two separate mic inputs) is a small mixer with at least two mic channels where you can set the right input gain and eq and so on for each mic. The output from the mixer is usually balanced if your amp only has one mic/xlr input.
