Answer 1

Use this,

INSERT INTO table2 (col1,col2...)
SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE selected row's id

If more than 1 row is selected, try using foreach or use INSERT BATCH to insert and WHERE IN in select

Answer 2

INSERT INTO table2 (val1, val2)
SELECT val1,val2 FROM table1 WHERE tableRowId = someID

Answer 3

You can have a check box beside each row in the displayed table.These checkboxes should contain the id of the product as value. Then pass on the values of these checkboxes using ajax to some php script which will run the query.

$(document).ready(function() {
$("#submit").click(function() {
  var x=0;
   console.log("start");

    var selected = [];
    $("input:checkbox[id=product]:checked").each(function(){
    selected.push($(this).val());
    });
    if (typeof selected !== 'undefined' && selected.length > 0) {

      var target= $("#target").val() ;
      var data = {
        products : selected.toString(),

    }



    $.ajax({
     url:"/dispatch",
     type: "POST",
     data:JSON.stringify(data),
     dataType: "json",
     contentType: "application/json",
     success: function(data)
     {           
            console.log("end");

     }
});

      }

});
});
