Does cutler hammer make CH2/20 breaker that provides both arc fault and ground fault protection?

I don’t believe so, or at least not readily available now.
What is it for? AFCI is only required on 120 volt circuits currently, (2020 NEC), so the only place you would conceivably need a 2P AFCI would be for a MWBC, so you could use 2, 20A GFCI/AFCI 1P and use a handle tie.

I’m hoping that 2 kitchen circuits, sharing a 12/3 could be protected, and avoid pulling in an additional 12/2.

You can't use two single pole GFCIs to supply a multiwire circuit.

Thanks, looks like we need to pull an additional 12/2, and use two single pole breakers

The only other way would be to use two single pole AFCI breakers, 12/3, and GFCI receptacles. You can use most, but not all single pole AFCIs with handle ties for a mutliwire circuit.
