Just wondering if you are limited to using one Evocation at a time, or can you pile as many on as you can if meet the criteria? For example in the next session be playing is going to start with a combat. If I hit someone with Eldritch Blast and I have both Grasp of Hadar which pulls someone 10 feet to me, and Lance of Lethargy which reduces their movement by 10 feet can both those effects be applied at the same time?
As many as you can given that you have only a Action, a Bonus Action and a Reaction. If an invocation allows you to cast a spell "for free", that doesn't change the casting time. If an Invocation doesn't otherwise have a restriction on how often you can use it (such as with Lance of Lethargy), then you can use it.
Evocations are always active, there is no such thing as a "limit" regarding how many evocations you can have active, other than the amount of evocations you can have in total. Now what evocations allow, as Stabbey_TC has said, you'll still only have the one action, bonus action and reaction and so things cast as an action will still consume said action. So Devil's Sight which just adds a form of sight, can be used on the same turn that Agonizing Blast is used on an Eldritch Blast.
To answer your specific question, yes... the target would be pulled toward you (if you want them to be), and have their speed reduced by 10'.
If you also had Repelling Blast, you could choose whether the target (or each individual target, depending on your level) was pushed or pulled, but all of them would have their speed reduced.
While i play it as choose either pushed or pulled, I know some who play it as you both get pushed and pulled in the same attack. It only matters for certain terrain features like spike growth etc. Me if you want to do that you need multiple bolts.
