It is called betta food for a reason. It is a formula specially designed for a bettas nutritional needs. It won't hurt the fish to eat it once in a while, but make sure the other fish get something else so that they are healthy. Flake food is good for them all, but bettas don't always eat flakes. You should be just fine feeding both at the same time.
I would be careful putting guppies with bettas, especially male bettas. The long fins of male guppies can confuse bettas and make them want to attack, but most likely things will probably be just fine.

I have six guppies and a male betta, and they are getting along fine. The betta will eat the baby guppies, although one has gotten by him and grown big enough to avoid that terrible fate!

the living arrangements sound fine but yes...don't put in a male Betta.
As for the food, you can feed them tropical fish food but the betta food would be better nutritionally and it will enhance their color.

beta fish tend to be very agressive toward other betas. they do however get along well with most other types of fish.
i fed my beta on bata food, so i would ask a professional about that.
