Yes, they could be from the same state.
However, the 12th Amendment does say that electors may not vote for a President from their state and a Vice President also from their state.
Therefore if running mates from the same state carried their home state, there could be a problem. The electors would probably vote for their presidential candidate and vote for some unknown for vice-president. This could cause the vice-presidential candidate to fail to get a majority.
Bush and Cheney side-stepped the problem by getting Cheney to establish residency in Wyoming.
(See the discussion for why such a combination is politically unlikely. )

Has any secretary of state become president due to the loss of both the president and vice president?
No. It is quite unlikely that this would ever happen. When the Vice President becomes President, a new Vice President is selected and becomes next in line. Only if the new President were to die before a new Vice President was selected would the Speaker of the House become President. Then a new Vice President and a new Speaker would be selected and they would both be ahead of the President Pro Tempore in the order of ascendence. The Secretary of State would become President only if the President, Vice President, Speaker, and President Pro Tempore all died at essentially the same time.
