I know that my Icom dual band handheld, or a mobile radio can do crossband repeat. Can I use them as a repeater with both receive and transmit frequencies on the same band?

No. The repeater operation on the same band requires heavy shielding between a receiver and a transmitter, as well as tight band pass filters. Besides, most dual band mobiles and handhelds cannot receive and transmit on the same band at the same time.
