I’m going to the USA next year and want to use an eSIM over there, can I  keep my original number and attach it to the eSIM.

That really is not what I’m looking for. 
I'm going to  the U S next year and want to know if I can keep my mobile number if I purchase a eSIM from another company 

Your iD SIM would usually retain its UK mobile number when you’re using an eSIM from another provider.
