Can a air purifier fix mould on its own

No. A purifier can reduce the number of spores floating in the air, but you still need to deal with moisture and clean affected surfaces. Think of it as support rather than a complete cure.

How should I combine an air purifier and a dehumidifier

Use the dehumidifier to bring humidity down to a sensible level, often around fifty percent, then keep it there. Run the purifier to reduce dust, spores and smells. Placing them in the same room can work well if there is space for both to move air.
