Yes companions in the dead pile count. So no you can't play any more than nine companions total. Unless using specific cards like Falls of Rauros which doesn't actually let you have more than nine companions in play at once, but does let you play that tenth companion if needed.

I know alot of people that use Gamling, Defender of The Hornburg to grab Erkenbrand's Horn and a couple of followers, kill him then use Falls of Rauros to bring out someone better than Gamling.
