 * Point both installations to the same database, just make sure that database prefix
   for both installations is different.

 * Just enable multisite feature of WordPress. If you don’t want that, sinip’s answer
   is correct.

 * You can install 2 WordPress with the same database. There are 2 ways to do this:
    1. Enable multisite feature of WordPress. The two sites will be working with same
       installation of WordPress.
    2. Use same database credentials while installing the two WordPress but just change
       database prefix, such as wp_ and wp2_ This will create two sets of tables with
       different prefix in the same database.

 * Yes, you can do it. All you need to do is to enable multisite feature of WordPress.
