The sentence type that includes both a subordinate clause and an independent clause would be a complex sentence. You would need to insert a conjunction to separate the two clauses for the sentence to be grammatically correct.
No, a complex sentence contains one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. A sentence containing two independent clauses is called a compound sentence.
You have described a "complex" sentence. - Simple sentence = An independent clause. - Compound sentence = Two independent clauses joined with a conjunction. - Complex sentence = An independent clause plus one or more dependent clauses.

A blended sentence is a grammatically incorrect sentence that combines two independent clauses without proper punctuation or conjunction. It often occurs when someone accidentally merges two separate thoughts or phrases into one. For example, "I went to the store I bought milk," is a blended sentence because it combines two independent clauses without a proper connector.

A compound sentence. --Sunset Shew --May31,2012
This is called a compound sentence. It consists of two or more independent clauses joined by coordinating conjunctions such as "and," "but," or "or." Each clause can stand alone as a complete sentence.
A compound sentence has 2 or more coordinate independent clauses. A complex sentence is made from a dependent and independent clauses joined together.
A compound sentence contains two or more independent clauses, and no dependent (or subordinate) clause(s). The independent clauses that make up a compound sentence may be connected with a coordinating conjunction, conjunctive adverb, or semicolon.
