The concatenation operator is: ||

e.g.

hectares||' ha'

You can use tostring() to concat number fields Ex hectares || ' ha' || tostring(id)

Yes! Using the field calculator, the syntax is: FIELDNAME + FIELDNAME

EDIT: This works on string fields. With Integers, it will just perform the math and add the fields together.
