You can be both a pantheist and an animist. Pantheism claims that God is literally everything as you say. Animism makes the claim that everything has a soul or is in some way a living thing, including plants and inanimate objects. Some animists will claim that only natural things have a soul, others will claim that even man-made objects have a soul, since everything is ultimately derived from nature.

The one doesn't disclude the other.

One of the problems in defining animism of course is that the concept of what a soul is and what having a soul entails can vary wildly from person to person.

True, but surely pantheism lends a particular image to the "soul."
