This is an oxymoron, since equations show equalvalues, while inequalities show unequal values.

An equation will be of the form 2x = 4 or y = 3x +1

An inequality states that two values differ rather than providing an exact value:

x > 2 (x is greater than 2)

y < 2x-1 (y is less than 2x minus 1)

a ≠ b (a is not equal to b)

However, an inequality can state an upper or lower bound for a value as

x ≤ 6 or x<=6 means that x is less than or equal to 6

Is a number an expression equation or inequality?

A number is an expression. It is not an equation, or an inequality, since it doesn't have an equal sign, or an inequality (greater than, less than, etc.) sign.

If you replace the equal sign of an equation an put an inequality sign in its place is there ever a time when the same value will be a solution to both the equation and inequality?

Yes, when the inequality has a less that or equal to sign, or a greater than sign or equal to sign, then the equal sign can be replaced and get a solution that is common to both the equation and the inequality. There can also be other solutions to the inequality, where as the solution for the equation will be a valid one.
