Can I sit both higher and foundation gcse maths?
I believe the exams are at the same time for each exam board normally, so I doubt it unless you're sitting separate exam boards for each.

I'm not sure I see any point in doing so anyway - if you are capable of potentially getting better than a C you should sit higher, and if not you should sit foundation. Your teacher however will be the one to assess your ability and put you in for a particular one (although you may be able to present a case to take the higher paper instead of foundation possibly).

Not in the same exam period
No, but why would you want to anyway? Surely you know whether you’re good enough for above a C or not.
