I honestly don't remember who he was. Some random paladin guy just ran into the group of cultists out of nowhere, slashed one, big fight ensued, I completely forget about him already until Woljif says "shame that paladin dude died."

Basically the idea is if he had a name -> he probably could have survived. And if Woljif made a comment about how he could be useful he *definitely* could have survived.

You have to choose between her and Lann, right? Or is it possible to have both?

Yes you can have both. You, however, cannot get both at the beginning and instead get the other at a latter juncture (when you killed her is when you could have potentially gotten her). That said getting both is insanely finnicky and requires an insanely precise set of choices made in effectively every dialog involving either character + every mongrel character. It is arguably the hardest thing to accomplish in the game and all but requires a guide. Heck, assuming you got her to join you when you saw her you would still have to (very minor Lann -> Wenduag recruitment spoilers) contend with her betraying you if you don't pick some specific evil dialog options, and even when you do that she still leaves and comes back in Act V.
