Yes, you are able to use both JS libraries. In a project, you can combine any number of JS libraries depending on your needs. However, you may need to resolve conflicts. Like several JS libraries use the dollar symbol as a shortcut, you would need to use jquery instead of $ to write jQuery specific code.

Yes Jquey and Angular play well together. I would, though, do some research on best practices for using jquery with jquery.
