I can't answer that, but here's a way to get a rehearsal mark and a tempo
mark at the same point in time, using an empty chord:
\version "2.19.15"
{
R1
\mark
<>\tempo Allegro 4=120
R1
}

Sounds like you want two marks next to each other, not in a column.
So, just have two marks in the same markup.
\version "2.19.15"
{
R1
\mark \markup { \fermata "Longer text mark" }
R1
}
To deal with alignment, you can use something like the following.
This isn't killer, since the amount of extra-offset to get the fermata
centered will depend on the size of your fermata; this is a manual
adjustment, not auto-centering.
\version "2.19.15"
{
R1
\override Score.RehearsalMark.self-alignment-X = #LEFT
\override Score.RehearsalMark #'extra-offset = #'( -1.5 . 0 )
\mark \markup { \fermata "Longer text mark" }
R1
}
