Yes, MySQL can run more than one database.  Fairly standard operation.

The issues are really with the disk/cpu/ram on the machine, and the amount 
of load that MySQL is under.  I use MySQL for some light web hosting stuff 
(~200 hits a day..wee!), and there are no problems.  I also use it to 
house some RTG data, and the tables are up to 500Million rows and things 
are still running smoothly.

You can do a quick google search on MySQL performance etc if you really 
care about benchmarks.  I'd say in general you shouldn't have any problems 
running multiple DB's + application on the same machine.
