Deductions & credits

Yes, you are correct. 

The solo 401(k) and a Roth IRA are two separate instruments and in your case you can contribute to both. 

Yes, the Solo 401(k) is limited to your Self-Employment income.

Yes, the requirement for a Roth IRA contribution is that you have compensation for that year. 

Although you are contributing the Self-Employment income to a Solo 401(k), that does not make the compensation ineligible for making the Roth IRA contribution. 

You may do both within each of their individual limits. The limits are not combined.
