Simple Answer: No. It won't work. Not even close.
Long Answer:
There is a lot more to Ethernet, Cat-5 cables, and networking than just having wire that connects Point A to Point B.
Let's start with Ethernet. You have not mentioned what kind of Ethernet you are talking about. The commonly used 100Base-T Ethernet (a.k.a. 100 megabit Ethernet) uses 2 pairs of wire (4 conductors total). 1000Base-T (a.k.a. Gigabit Ethernet) uses 4 pairs of wires (8 conductors).
Cat-5 cable is made from 4 pairs of wire, with each pair twisted in a very specific way. Each pair is twisted at a different rate from the other pairs, to control the crosstalk between pairs. The insulation dielectric and thickness is carefully controlled, along with the twist rate, to control the impedance between the wires. Cat-5 (and Cat-5e, and Cat-6, etc.) has very specific specifications that must be met to be called Cat-5.
What you are calling "12 Core Coax" does not appear to be coax at all, using the traditional meaning of the word "coax". Rather, it appears to be normal 12-conductor cable with a wire braid shield. The link you provided has no specifications on things like twist rate, impedance, crosstalk, capacitance, bandwidth, etc.
Your first question, "Can I use this 12-conductor cable for Ethernet?", must be answered with a no. We have no way to compare Cat-5 with the cable you want to use. Your cable has no specs, while Cat-5 has very specific specs.
Your next question, "Can I fit two Ethernet links into 12 conductors?", is a definite maybe. I am, of course, ignoring the signal quality of that cable and only looking at the number of conductors. 100 Mbps Ethernet requires 4 conductors. 4+4=8. 8 <= 12. So yes, you can put 100 Mbps on 12 conductors. But Gigabit Ethernet requires 8 conductors. 8+8=16. 16>12. So there is no way to put two Gigabit links on a 12 conductor cable.
Next, you mention using some of the "cores as a common earth". Ethernet is transformer isolated at both ends of the cable and thus does not have a "common earth". If you want to get super technical about things, each pair of wires is in essence its own common earth. But don't read too much into that because you'll just get more confused.
I know what you're probably thinking at this point. You're thinking that you are only running slow-old-100-Mbps-Ethernet and all of this impedance controlled, twisted stuff can't be that important. And that you'll just chance it and run 100 Mbps Ethernet over the "12-core Coax" and hope for the best. I have talked to many people in this same position. People who ignored the advise of experts (not just me) and tried to run Ethernet over non-standard cables. All of these people have deeply regretted that choice-- in some cases they "lost" thousands of dollars in rewiring costs, and in other cases they lost their jobs. Don't do it!
But here is one solution that might work for you (and I have actually done this with success): Use standard Cat-5 or Cat-5e cable and run two 100 Mbps links over it. Two pairs for the first link, two more pairs for the second link. To make things better, Cat-5/5e cable is probably a lot cheaper than that 12-conductor stuff you found. Just make sure that when you select the wires for each pair of signals that you actually select pairs of wires! Just taking a Cat-5 cable and not paying attention to which wires are twisted together is guaranteed failure.
Mains cabling doesn't just have to supply power to your lamps; it also has to be safe in the event of a fault. If your lamp short circuits, you don't want the cable to burn out or start a fire before the fuse blows (if you're in a fused plug country like the UK) or the breaker trips! So standard 3-core mains cable probably is appropriate. See also MandoMando's comment on the correct insulation. Or as Dave Tweed says, use low voltage lighting and a mains transformer (perhaps look for garden or outdoor lighting systems)
EDIT: if the rest of the installation is up to "double insulation" standards with no exposed metalwork, then 2-core mains cable would be acceptable, saving some space.

When comparing single to multiple cables current capability you need to consider that multiple cables will run hotter (for the same current capability) than does a single cable in free air. As soon as you see multiple cable bundles, you will see the current rating being reduced because of thermal restrictions.
Get a good Cable chart like this ...Engineering Toolbox is your friend. And a cable areas conversion like this
If you are in EU then I'm sure there are similar cable company or website that cover mm cabling.
Adding this link to an excellent treatise on the de-rating of bundled cables due to increase in thermal resistivity.
