How can I add a comma as a thousands separator for the resulting number?

“6,357 images” instead of “6357 images”

Try adding escape="number" attribute to the outputting tag.

I’m returning to this as I was experimenting with the evaluate tag which did not work as expected and returned nothing when using the snippet below.

<txp:evaluate query='<txp:article_custom section="projects,about,blog,texts,publications" pageby="1" status="live" pgonly escape="number" /> + <txp:article_custom section="projects,about,blog,texts,publications" pageby="1" status="sticky" pgonly escape="number" />' />

I know that the above can be achieved in a simpler way and it is not a real life experiment.

Try removing escape="number" from your tags. According to the post above that adds a comma, which is probably throwing off the addition.
