So this character and the partner I have planned for her were originally a PC/NPC duo from a Pokemon Tabletop United game. While it was based on Pokemon as an existing property, the setting was a unique medieval fantasy one, with no reference to any canon events, although the legendaries did exist. Would I need to rewrite their preincarnation backstory to not include Pokemon at all, or would they be fine? (I have the original DM's blessing to play their NPC as well.)

Also, for combo apps, do they have to share an account as well, or can they have separate accounts?

Since Pokemon Tabletop United seems to be an unofficial fan created system, characters from it fall under the We do not permit original characters from closed canons rule. You would thus have to rewrite the preincarnation backstory to not include Pokemon at all, and treat the characters as full OCs for app purposes (aka you would have to briefly outline the world they live in as part of your canon history).

Instead of omitting the pokemon completely, you could also file off the serial numbers and keep "legendary animals with special powers", or something to that end, as long as they are not recognizable as pokemon anymore. Any other canon elements (characters, setting details) would also have to be unrecognizable for characters from Pokemon canon.

It's up to the player if combo characters share an account or not! All they have to share is an info post.

Yeah, that seems fair enough! Would it be okay for me to quote/link stuff from the original RP's setting information, since the location was a unique one?

[ourearth]

While you may link to that information, you may not use it as a substitute for necessary information (compare the way in which this sample application's history links for detailed information, but still gives brief explanations for everything that it links).

Also, something that you probably already know, but we'll mention it just to make sure: If you quote anything, please clearly mark those passages/sentences as quotes, as otherwise we'll have to reject your application for plagiarism.
