Can two apk files published on Google Play Store from different accounts be signed by the same key/keystore?

I have such problem because, I want to publish two apps from two accounts and I have strong concerns if it can be done using the same keystore and key to sign the apk files.

This is possible. However, it is almost certainly a bad idea. In fact it is probably the right thing for most apps to have a different signing key not only per developer account, but also per app. That way if you want to sell the rights to your app to a different company you don't have to work out what to do about the signing key for all your apps.

The very best thing in my opinion is to sign in to Google Play App Signing so you have the benefit of Google protecting your signing key for you. That way if you lose your keystore or keystore password (lots of developers do this, just search StackOverflow) Google can help you out.

Yes. You can sign the apps using the same key.
