The advice on how much space you need per cat is pretty variable, from one bedroom per cat to various square footage per cat. But even then, you might have trouble with getting some cats to share space no matter how big it is.

However, one bedroom and bathroom sounds very small to me, especially when you consider that the advice on litterbox number is pretty consistent, which is one litterbox per cat, plus one additional litterbox. This means three litterboxes for two cats, which sounds like an awful lot of litterboxes for such a small space. You might be able to get the cats to accept fewer, but then obviously it's better to clean them even more frequently, which might not be very doable when part of motivation for adopting another cat is that it'll be alone more. Also, I personally don't think it's very fair to the cats to make them accept a situation they'd probably prefer not to when there's also the option of simply waiting to adopt until you have the room to fit enough litterboxes.

The other consideration I would have is your ability to accommodate the two cats if it turns out introducing them doesn't go entirely smoothly. You might need to get more things if they don't like sharing, or you might need to have a much slower introduction process, and I don't think it's very ideal to keep one cat in a bathroom for an extended period of time. It seems to me like you'd REALLY require more space if any problems crop up.

Lastly, there is actually a positive to holding off on adopting until you move into a larger home. Namely, that if the territory is new to both cats, then they're more likely to allow each other into the space, versus when the one cat is feeling like it owns the space, it's more likely to feel like it needs to defend its territory from the new cat which it sees as an intruder.
