You always want to grind flax seeds. If they are not ground, they cannot be digested and they pass right through your system with no benefit. I use a coffee grinder but I've been known to use the food processor as well.
Yes, you can mix flax and chia. I do it often. I generally add about 2 tablespoons (more or less depending on how large a recipe) to baked goods. Chia can have a strong flavor if you over do it. The stronger the flavor of the end product, the more you can include. For example, for regular bread I use less than if I am making a cinnamon bread. You will learn as you play around with it.
