You could use the same disk if you wish - it won't be the same storage unit - the issue here is free space cauculations and you don't want two different things using the same disk or they will both get confused
It is also best practice to out the de-dupe database component on fast disk (so data goes on SATA and DataBase goes on SAS for example)
You cannot use disk staging for de-dupe - you will need to set up LifeCycle policies (which are far more efficient anyway)
It will be the SLPs that duplicate the de-dupe from disk to tape and you will be able to restore from either (depending by default on which is the primary copy)
Hope this helps
