Answer 1

seaborn function that operate on a single Axes can take one as an argument.

For instance, the docs to seaborn.kdeplot include:

ax : matplotlib axis, optional
    Axis to plot on, otherwise uses current axis

So if you did:

df = function_to_load_my_data()
fig, ax = plt.subplots()

You could then do:

seaborn.kdeplot(df['col1'], ax=ax)
seaborn.kdeplot(df['col2'], ax=ax)
