Question

Understand that Quorum Tessera is for encryption, decryption, and distribution of private transactions while Quorum Keystore is for normal transaction signing. Can both be collapsed into one set of public/private keys?

No they cannot be as they are completely different types of keys and their use is defined by the context they live in.
