Disclaimer: I don't own either bomb yet to test this myself.

If you run a duo where 1 guy uses Graviton Bomb and the other guy uses Freeze Bomb, can anything ever hit you or get away?

Both users charge up their bomb, Graviton places his and Freeze places right on top of that immediately afterward. Start charging again and move to the side a little bit.

Graviton explodes, drawing all enemies in, Freeze explodes holding them all there. New double set of bombs are being placed just to the side already, and explode before enemies can thaw.

Graviton hits all enemies, breaking their freeze and drawing them in. Freeze explodes once again sealing them in place.

Repeat forever.

Sounds fun, but I've never

Sounds fun, but I've never tried that. I've actually run a combo with someone using fire while I freeze, trust me, it works better than you'd think (though it means you can't use this on fire and freeze enemies)

It will be slow, though. Both

It will be slow, though. Both bombs only do one hit, and they don't do much compared to a Blast Bomb I don't think. The main draw of them is their utility. If you had a fire bomb, it would at least do periodic damage on top of that, which helps eat at a group's health over time.

The graviton bomb already

The graviton bomb already holds enemies in place, so the freezer is useless. Doublely so since the graviton bomb will break all the targets out of their frozen state, preventing the bomb from doing its true damage. A fire bomb or poison bomb is preferable because of their secondary effects: Fire does fire ticks (extra damage = quicker fights), while poison lowers defense (against extra damage) and lowers their damage output (for those times when you bomb yourselves into a corner) as well as making menders useless.

The graviton does hold

The graviton does hold enemies in place until the end where it spits them all out in random directions. When I used to run graviton I ran into someone using a freezing vaporizer once and when used together enemies would exit the void and immediately freeze in their stacked position. From here you could deal sword/gun damage to the entire stack.

This is how it works...

This is how it works... Freeze, then Graviton. But that isn't strong enough to kill them quickly

Also neither prevents enemies

Also neither prevents enemies from attacking, so you would still need to be chary.
