Yes the 750 – see e.g. here – will do that nicely, if you have a headset adaptor.
However, for general flying in a busy environment, 2 radios are really handy. Even if I was equipping a really basic homebuilt plane I would have two radios in the panel.
I’ve just bought the Yaesu FTA-550AA, got it new for £169 so a bit of a steal. Only difference from the 750 (which is probably twice the price) is no GPS but it still does VOR and ILS (without the vertical component).
And no Li-ion battery pack

8,33 handheld with GPS, and even VOR/ILS.
Got that one as well, good value for radio usage and many other functions
It is a super nice backup, I am sure it can stay handheld on VOR tracking but for LOC/ILS it needs 3 hands but still very accurate 
GPS backup is no use for magenta line generation (generation Trimble2000T/KNS80 may get away with it if saving few way-points)

Then that’s another difference: the 750 also does the ILS glideslope.
You may be right Peter.
750 may not have the GlideSlope.
I have checked it only onboard an airliner and received only LOC but blamed a thick heated windshield blocking GP signal (which would be strange not to block LOC).
Edit:
however reading a manual now and it says a band of 300Mhz is included for GS.
The Yaesu 750 has the glideslope. Tested from the right seat while the PIC was doing an ILS approach in a light single engine. The manual is also very clear on that: the 750 has glideslope, the 550 doesn’t.
