As xVir,suggested you cannot run a windows 8 app on a windows phone.

But you can use some strategies to maximise code reuse between the apps.

  • Separate UI and application logic using the MVVM pattern
  • Use Portable Class Libraries(PCL) to share functionalities
  • Share code with Add as Link
  • Share using Windows Runtime Components
  • Handling difference between WP8 and W8 platforms

For more info you can refer this Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 app development

No. It is different project types. But you can share some common code between projects using libraries.
