RE: One contact, two circuits
Electrically it will work as drawn, but there are other questions which arise when you common up the two power supplies which we can't answer based on the information given, like isolation and protection.

If we learn from our mistakes I'm getting a great education!
RE: One contact, two circuits
But there's not quite enough info to be sure.
RE: One contact, two circuits
Most of us would not do so. If we were tempted, we would not attempt it without more information than you have provided.

Some devices are intolerant of reverse current.
Ripple may also be an issue.
