Whirlwind and a few others make a mic combiner, you have to adjust the level of each mic with placement and source volume, as there isn't a separate volume control for each on the combiner.
Another solution would be another mixer that you could patch into your existing one, giving you more inputs.
As far as the splitting thing, many times in live work there is a separate board which handles monitor mixes. Splitting the mic signals and sending them to both mixers gives control of eq and fx for monitor mixes without affecting the house mix.
For recording, especially on a budget, anything that works, works. About ten years ago, my studio was my bedroom for a control room, and the living room for bands, about 75 feet apart. I had a mixer with two aux sends for feeding my recorders (two ADATs). One of my bandmates had a Mackie 1604 that we also used as our live mixer. For many reasons, but mostly cost and convenience, it made sense to split the mics in the living room and use the 1604 to make headphone mixes.
It also came in handy at mixdown, since we were pretty primitive. We had songs where for instance in one part the lead vocal had "telephone eq", everything cut below 300 or so and above 3K, and then it went back to normal. We had no computer, no DAW or automation, so we split the vocal, eq'ed the two channels the way we wanted, and when it was "telephone time", the normal vocal got pulled down, and the telephone vocal got pushed up.
BTW, yes, you are right, it does suck up extra inputs, which sounds like are at a premium for you.
