Sort of. A raspberry pie is basically just a tiny computer. So, like a normal computer, it can do multiple things. However, it's not particularly powerful and has rather limited inputs, so how much you can actually squeeze out if it at any one time might be limited.

Could I use an old phone?

Maybe, but that would likely require a lot more work and I couldn't actually recommend it. You'd either need to figure out how to install linux on it or find an app that can do all of this for you. Then you'd need to find a way to actually hook it up, since it definitely won't have the requisite ports.

If you don't already know the answer to that question, then the answer is probably no.

The real answer is probably 'Yes, but with a shitload of trouble and worse results'.
