I'm thinking of buying this snail since they are part of the helix family. I am wondering if they are easy to care for as the garden snail, helix aspersa. Plus, can helix pomatia and the aspersa mate? Making into a hybrid?

They are relatively easy to keep like other garden snails, they just prefer more space and a lower population in their immediate area. Maybe 5 snails in a 20 gallon terrarium for optimal results. Also, Helix aspersa is an invalid name, it is now classified as Cornu aspersum. Being from different genera they cannot mate and do not form hybrids.
