hi, i got to install some tv sockets on ground floor and run the cable into the loft.
thats 2 floors up around 5 meters. can the coax cable share space in conduit with
feed for lighting on 1st floor? i mean if tv reception will not be affected?

another question- do you have any experience with those unpowered splitters?

1in 2 out.
how many points can i wire using those before i will need some powered amplifier?

my answers in red. just do it right.
 
Be careful you do not end up with multiple powered amps in series you will get a rotten signal.
If you split multiply from a dist amp then you will have a powerful enough signal to each point. If you need to split after this then you should be OK with passive splitters but they will degrade the signal.
