Nearly all of the items and buffs listed can stack with each other, but you can't stack Demondrug with Mega Demondrug, and Armorskin with Mega Armorskin. The mega counterparts of these items would only be the one in effect. The effects of the Butterflame and the Might Seed also don't stack, instead following the Might Seed's effect.
Using a Mega Demondrug, a Might Seed, then a Demon Powder will yield a 27-point increase on your attack value. Same goes with using a Mega Armorskin, plus Adamant seed, then a Hardshell Powder, where these three items should provide a 65-point increase to defense. Holding their respective charms and talons will boost it further to 42 attack and 95 defense!
When using a buff such as a Might Seed, taking in another one while it's active will not increase the effect. However, the duration will reset, letting you take advantage of the same buff for longer!
The Item Prolonger skill at level 3 increases the duration of item effects by 50%.
For example, having the Item Prolonger at lv. 3 while using Immunizer should prolong its duration from 5 minutes to 7 minutes and 30 seconds.
The same principle applies to other items except for those effective already for the whole duration of the quest, such the Demondrug, Armorskin, and their mega counterparts.
When your character carts or faints during a quest the buffs applied are removed immediately as you reach the main camp. Be sure to bring enough buff items so that you could immediately reapply those buffs to your stats.
