Why would the water heater cold water supply and the hot water exit both be hot?

There should be a non return valve on the cold water side of the hot water tank. When there is no non return valve the water in the tank heats up and expansion of the water will cause it to travel backward up the cold water pipe thereby equalising the waterpressure normally this expansion would find its way out of the safety pressure valve. So it sounds like the non return valve needs fitting or replacing.

Not advisable. Both units consume huge amounts of Amps (amperes = current) and the normal 20 or 30 amp breaker may not sustain prolonged operation of both.

What causes you to have a good supply of hot water at times and at other times barely have half a bath of hot water?
When there is not enough hot water, it probably is caused by someone using the hot water recently and the water heater is not large enough to provide hot water for both uses. The water heater will provide hot water as long as there is hot water in it. When there isn't any hot water left, it will provide cold water. It takes a while to heat the water after some is used.

What would cause hot water to run out in 1 shower in just 5 minutes yet run for 30 in another shower?
It would have to be the controls or the shower head. Distance from the heater or size of supply lines shouldn't have much affect. The only variable would be the control or shower head and either one could have a flow restrictor in it or both.
