Is that ok? I don't have any extra tank right now just the 15 gallon. also would the sump be added to the total volume of the water?

Yes a 15 gal could be used as a sump/wet dry, and whatever the amount of water it holds would be part of the total volume.
It would not however, really add much toward adding more fish to the above tank, if you are thinking cichlids or other similar territorial fish. In that regard, its the footprint of living space that determines population.
I use a 65 gal tank for a group of 5, three to five inch Gymnogeophagus balzani and some 1" corys, the tank is hooked up to a line of 3 more tanks and a sump that total about 300 gallons of water, even though the total gallons would indicate bio-ability to add fish to the 65, actual territorial space in the tank does not. To me a few adult 6" fish is about all a 60+gal tank has capacity to comfortably hold.
