You can use interwiki links to link pages between the two.

For images, you might try the shared upload directory support (which use
use to make Wikimedia Commons a central image repository accessible from
all our projects). You might also be able to get away with just sharing
an upload path/directory, though this could lead to some inconsistencies
in the image table if you upload an image with the same name in both places.

These are code outside of the wiki, so naturally can be shared.
