I have one tape that I’d like to share across my Storage Policies. Can I have each Copy use the same tape?

No. Once a storage policy writes to a tape, no other policy can write to that tape. You must wait until the data retention expires, and the tape returns to the Scratch pool.
However, you can use GridStor® to configure your library for alternate data paths. In that situation, if a library fails on one MediaAgent, the MediaAgent will fail over and use the other available libraries
