Answer: At the time of Jesus, there were 2 sets of scriptures: one for the Jews who understood Hebrew in the Holy Land and the Septuagint which was a translation of the books into Greek for those Jews in the diaspora and who didn't speak Hebrew. The Septuagint contained 7 books absent from the Hebrew version. When the Church leaders gathered to decide which writings would make up The Bible, most of them were Greek speaking, so it was natural that they selected the Greek translation of the scriptures used by the Jews. The 7 extra books were rejected by Martin Luther although they were included at the end of the Bible published by Protestants at the time of the Reformation. So, no, Catholicism did not add anything to the Holy Bible.

Yes, there are 7 more: Tobit, Judith, 1 Maccabees, 2 Maccabees, Sirach, Baruch, & Wisdom. However the Catholic Church did not add these books - Martin Luther took them out of the Bible in 397AD because they contained doctrine that he did not believe in. He also wanted to take out the books of James, Revelation, Jude, and Hebrews.

How many holy books are there in Judaism?

The answer depends on a variety of variables. The most simple answer is that all the worlds diverse religious systems have Holy Books, although the contents of those books differ even within religions. The Bible is the Holy Book of the Jews, yet it is also considered the Holy Book by Christians altough they add to it The Gospels and various letters written by important early Christians, such as Peter and Paul, plus the Revelation of St. John. Even the books included in The Bible differ between the Jewish version, the Catholic version, and the Protestant versions. Books included in the Jewish and Catholic bible are missing in the Protestant bible. In Islam, the Holy Book is the Qu'ran. It retells many of the same stories as the Bible, except to a different audience and, unlike the Bible, it is not written as a narrative but rather is a collection of Revelations given at different times under different circumstances to Muhammad. This makes it more difficult for people unfamiliar with the situations under which the Revelations were given to understand it. It is not like reading a story. Zoroastrianism also has a Holy Book or two, as do all the other major faiths. In the Baha'i Faith, Baha'u'llah revealed over 1,000 writings - some short, some book length. One is called The Most Holy Book. Sooo...perhaps the answer to your question is A LOT!!

Why are Judaism and Christianity combined in one book when they are not the same?

They aren't actually combined in one book. The Christians adopt the Jewish Bible as the first half of their Bible, but they add to it and also do not use the original Hebrew.The Jewish Holy Book is the Hebrew Tanakh (Hebrew Bible): in Hebrew only. Some of us (non-Hebrew speakers) look at translations to get an idea of the meaning of the text, but it is understood that only the original Hebrew is the actual Jewish Bible. That is why Torah-scrolls are never in another language.
