Answer 1

You can extract joined list with | (regex or ) from column visits by tolist :

L = df2.visits.tolist()
print (L)
['aliexpress.com', 'ozon.ru', 'wildberries.ru', 'lamoda.ru', 
'mvideo.ru', 'eldorado.ru', 'ulmart.ru', 'ebay.com', 'kupivip.ru']

print (df.url.str.extract('(' + '|'.join(L) + ')', expand=False))
0    aliexpress.com
1    aliexpress.com
2    aliexpress.com
3    aliexpress.com
4    aliexpress.com
5    aliexpress.com
6    aliexpress.com
7    aliexpress.com
8        kupivip.ru
