I have a Drupal installation ready with all the functionality I needed. Now, I want to make a new form which should actually just fill in other forms with some default and some custom values from itself. A single new form may even need to drive several other forms.

What is the best approach to this?

My suggestion is to save the first form to a table and retrieve those values for other form. You can set default values for static variable and default values can also be retrieved from the tables. you can even define a variable and save the values in variable table.
eg:
'#default_value' => variable_get('default_text_content', t(VALUE_DEFINED) ),
define('VALUE_DEFINED',"Default that you want to save in the variable table.");
// To save define() to variable table.
return system_settings_form($form);

Hope this will help
Cheers.
