Yes you can, and it might be a good idea, because, depending on the multi-coating of the filter, that extra piece of glass can cause a bit of flare that a lens hood might prevent.

What is the difference between ND filter and polarizing filter?

Basically, a polarizer is used for blocking light reflected off a surface, while an ND just makes the whole scene darker. Polarizing filters can enhance the color of the image while ND filters just block the light entering the camera. It does not change the overall color of the image.

Mamiya rubber lens hoods are very rigid and don’t collapse like the cheapo versions on eBay. You’d need to apply a fair amount of force before they collapse down, and they feature a rigid metal ring embedded in the rubber at the front end. I think they do as good a job as plastic or metal hoods in terms of protection.
