Answer 1

It's not possible with one query as INSERT can only insert data to one table in mysql. You can either

1. write this as two queries and execute them as a batch
2. create a stored procedure that would execute two insert command

You can wrap those inserts in transaction if you need to make sure that both queries will write the data.
