Grout is used to fill spaces concrete will not flow into. Grout is more watery than concrete and the expectation is that the water will be absorbed into the surrounding materials and the remaining grout will reach design hardness. Concrete, to the contrary, is expected to retain its water and the amount is carefully calculated.

Will using both sanded and unsanded grout on your back splash look okay if you have both 1-16 in and 1-2 in gaps to grout?

You should use the grout that will work best for the biggest grout space that you need. So for a grout width like you described, 1/16 to 1/2, you should use sanded grout. Unsanded grout will look terrible in a 1/2" grout joint, but sanded grout will look great in both. Use sanded.
