Taking $$Z$$ transform, $$X(z) = X(z) \times H(z) \times H'(z)$$ or $$H'(z) = \frac{1}{H(z)} \tag{1}$$ So you can deconvolve a convolution sum if you you have inverse transfer function as expressed in (1). Provided, $$\mathbf{Z}$$ inverse of $$\mathbf{H'(z)}$$ exists for same ROC.   considering your exampleFor causal and stable system, $$H(z) = 1+z^{-1}$$ withthe ROC = entire $$Z$$ plane except at $$z=0$$. $$H'(z) = \frac{1}{1+z^{-1}}$$ Inverse of this $$H(z)$$ exists either for $$|z|>1$$ (causal) or for $$|z|<1$$ (anti-causal) not for both. So $$Z$$ inverse of $$H'(z)$$ does not exists for samemust extend to infinity and ROC should contain the unit circle. That is why you could not find any impulse response that if convolved with $$[1\ 1]$$ would result in $$[1]$$.
