I can drag a tab out of window, and it becomes independent window in Safari, Finder and other apps that support tabs. Is it possible to reverse this operation, convert window into tab by dragging it to another window?

I did this, not sure if it will answer it for you.
Finder Preferences > General > check "open folders in tabs instead of new windows"
In Safari, one can move even the last tab of a window into another window simply by clicking on the tab's title area and then dragging and dropping onto the tab space of your target window. Dragging the last tab to a new window causes that window to close.
This is what it looks like to move the last tab, which I had opened at Top Sites.
That is actual size. The window 'collapses' during the drag operation and becomes semi-transparent.
The requirement is that View | Show Tab Bar is selected when the window is open with a single tab. This setting is sticky; it will 'stick' between Safari sessions.

Best Answer
You need to drag a tab - Safari won't let you drag an entire window into another one. You can hit ⌘T to create a new empty tab (thus making the tab interface visible), then drag your original tab to the other window.
