It sounds like the answer to your question is fairly straightforward. To quote:

So, what I currently have is 2 hosts. (More possibly coming, but lets just start with the 2) Both hosts are physically in the same location. Both hosts are running ESXI 6.7. Both with numerous VM's running. 1 host is running vCenter Server appliance 6.7 and the other host.. well.. here in lay is my question. Ideally, what would be the 'ideal way' (a question that is obviously subjective I would assume) to have a vCenter Server appliance that looks after both hosts? What I would like to achieve is having a vCenter look after both hosts so that I may easily perform vmotion, put either host into maintenance mode and perform updates etc.

If you have two ESXi hosts (nevermind what VMs each is running), you can join and manage both hosts to the same vCenter server. It doesn't make a difference that one host runs the vCSA VM and the other host has nothing (or something). You can either create a cluster and add both to a cluster, or add both separately as standalone hosts.
