Can this be used to tighten loose skin as a paste with water?

Hi, Alum has astringent properties. It can tighten loose skin. However, it would require a long term application and its better to use it with some face or body clay such as a fullers earth, french clay etc because alum will not form a paste with water. Hence, it won't remain applied on the skin but it will drip. If you mix it with a clay, then it will stay on the skin. Alum is well tolerated. However, if you are a first time user, please conduct a hypersensitivity test on feet or arms with a small amount before using it on face.

Can this be used to purify water?

Yes. However, it would be a very expensive choice to use this food grade Alum powder to purify water. You can use commercial alum for that in order to save money.
