I was hoping to find more Crucial DDR4 deals this season but it was very rare - did they stop producing DDR4?

Be aware that this is a Dual Rank Memory and Ryzen CPU can't handle 4 sticks with dual rank, not sure about Intel

Depends on your platform but in most cases yes. Running single channel vs dual is a performance hit. Why can't you run both sticks?

There's no harm in running 32GB, but if you don't want to just buy a 16GB kit

Picked up this combo at Micro Center:

Would this RAM kit be a good fit? Not planning on overclocking, TIA!

Can someone tell me if this ram is compatible with my pc? Intel core i5-7400, nvdia gtx 1060 3gb. 2 stick x sk hynix 4gb ram ddr4. My pc is old and I don't really game. I have alot of browser tabs and it starts to lag so bad. Can I just use 1 stick 16gb ram?

You'd likely benefit more from a fresh install of Windows (if that's the OS you're using) rather than adding more RAM. In my experience, a Windows machine in daily use needs a fresh install of Windows every 15 months or so - zero cost too.

EDIT: Ah just saw you're running 4 GB of RAM. Save some money and buy an 8GB kit or 16GB kit - 32 is overkill. I'd still first try a fresh install of Windows 10 though and see if that improves performance.
