Is there any chance to do that? If so, what do you suggest me to do? I have two custom lists that are related to each other, while adding an item to main list, i have to add some parts of it into another list simultaneously.

An easier to implement option than an event receiver is a Workflow, triggered by the first list, to insert data from that entry into another list.
This can be easily built using SharePoint Designer.

Just as a hint: Afaik a SPD 2010 Workflow has the limitation that it only cycles through five elements of an list, after 5th it collapses. Commented Jul 14, 2012 at 11:12
You can use Item receiver.

If to answer the question in title "Single form for multiple lists", then, IMO, the most effective solution is to publish an Infopath form template as Sharepoint content type.
I could have written about it in more details but the body of text is asking/describing something completely unrelated to title for which I would have configured site columns which again I could have extended if I was more sure in context and details

I would recommend to use SharePoint Designer workflows. You can define there actions that can update items on other lists. Event receiver would also be great, but I don't think there's a need to any custom development here.
If you are not into SharePoint Designer or coding event receivers, try to look at this one: http://www.articlesbase.com/software-articles/put-your-sharepoint-lists-to-work-with-smart-action-pro-5221059.html
