Can I make two virtual hosts on my apache server where one is the idP and the other is the sp ? They will communicate ?
I've never done virtual hosts before so I didn't want to go through the process only for it to not work...

Sure, they will be able to communicate. Your question is too wide but here's some background info, if it might help:
If you would be using SAML front-channel (browser bearer) bindings like HTTP post or redirect it is important your browser can open both those vhosts, since all SAML IDP/SP communication is done trough HTTP posts or redirects - server never actually contact each other directly.
If you'll be using back-channel bindings (like SOAP) then beside browser being able to open both vhosts, servers has to see each other, to be able to perform SOAP requests. Anyway, if you'll be using single server, there should be no firewalls in between for server to server communication.
