How many Bitcoin addresses can Bitcoin Core create?
As many as you want. While the number of addresses possible is finite, it is essentially infinite as the number of possible addresses is extremely massive. There are 2^160 possible P2PKH addresses (1... addresses) and 2^160 P2SH addresses (3... addresses)
Is there a limit to number of addresses Bitcoin core can crate?
No.
Can I use one receiving address for multiple transactions?
Yes but that is not recommended. There are enough possible addresses that you can and should always use new addresses.

I also like this related answer from a few years back, as it discusses performance tests in relation to number of addresses running on bitcoind. 75+ million and no issues. bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/24947/… Commented Aug 18, 2017 at 5:11

No. A paper wallet is just a private key. Each private key corresponds to only 1 address. If you want a new address, you will need to create a new paper wallet.– Ava Chow ♦Commented Aug 19, 2017 at 16:58
