Can 2 people claim head of house one has a child the other does not?

Not in this scenario. One dependent can only qualify one person for the head of household filing status. Even if there were 2 children, each person would have to be maintaining a household for one of the children to qualify.
Example 1: Two roommates split the rent and other household expenses. Each has a child and takes care of the expenses for their child. Each can qualify as head of household assuming they meet all other requirements.
Example 2: An unmarried couple has two children and live together. They live jointly and use their money jointly. They are not living as roommates. The person making the most money can qualify as head of household, because they would be maintaining more than half the costs of keeping up a home for a qualifying child. The other person qualifies as single. This is true regardless of who claims the children.

Can you claim a child as a dependent even if that child files her own taxes?
If your child files a joint return with her spouse, you cannot claim her (unless neither spouse owes any taxes and the only reason for filing is to claim a refund). If your child files any other kind of return, it makes no difference in whether you can claim her. Of course, you have to meet all of the usual requirements for claiming a dependent.

Can two people claim head of household?
I assume you are talking about an unmarried couple living together who have a child or children living with them, who meet all the requirements for Head of household (HOH) and the dependency exemption. Yes, they could potentially both file as HOH, but only if they each have a qualifying child who lives with them and all other tests are met. So if you only have one child living with you, than only one qualifies for HOH. If there are two children living with you, than you can each claim one of the children for HOH purposes and for the dependency exemption.
