Answer 1

You can't add a file from one <input type="file"> to another <input type="file"> .

This is because you can't set a file inputs value due to security reasons.

Answer 2

You cannot pass uploaded files directly to another form. You need to move it into a temporary location and give it a unique filename which you can then store into a hidden field in the second form. When you submit the second form then you receive the hidden value and you are then able to access the previously uploaded file.
