  I’m new to domains and blogging etc. I want to use WP.com for my blog hosting and Google for all else (ie website, email etc.)
  Can I combine the two and still have my custom domain name for all features (email, website, blog)?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You can, wordpress supports domain mapping, so you will be fine.

  Does it mean I should have registered my domain thru google apps? Can I cancel my WP.com domain registration, get my money back and go do the google reg?

  No, you do not need to do that. Read it again.

  I understand the custom email is working, thanks.

  Please correct me if I’m wrong, with my current setup my domain will point to the WP blog and if I want to have a company site in addition to my blog I will need to create a sub domain via google and link the WP blog to the sub domain and make the domain point to my google website?
  If I want to go that route, how would I accomplish it?
