Can you mix them both?

You're creating a speedball-like combination (mixing a stimulant with an opiate/depressant), which is very bad on the heart. One time wouldn't hurt, but don't go making it a daily thing.

Yes, but besides both being highly addicting, you need to keep in mind that acetaminophen is toxic to the liver. Acetaminophen is the non-narcotic added ingredient to Lortab.
Acetaminophen is the active ingredient in Tylenol like products, part of each dose is converted to the liver toxic chemical NAPQI, the body makes and stores the antidote glutathione to these types of poisons but once those stores are depleted the liver startst to get killed off.
Acetaminophen is a major cause of death due to liver failure, and its common occurance as an added ingredient in narcotic pain medication plays a big part in those statistics.
Even normal doses, if taken long enough will cause silent liver damage that will not be noticed until about 1/2 the liver is killed off, then it is too late. Dosing guidelines for acetaminophen are more about sales than safety.

Yes, however both drugs carry a risk of addiction. Adderall contains the central nervous system stimulant amphetamine which is used to treat ADHD, while Lortab contains a mixture of paracetamol and hydrocodone which is used to treat pain.
