The question is simple: is there a way to expand a single form to all connected screens?

+1  A: 

No, unless you are going to code in a reasonably low-level language, such as C and grab access to graphics memory.

Generally it's the operating system that performs the layout for you, so unless you have low-level access, or API published by the vendor, it would be quite hard I guess.

Okay then, if that's not possible, then is there a way to select in which screen the form will appear?

I suppose if you first hide your Form, grab Graphics object of your form, and direct it to draw itself anywhere in the joint x-y space of the two monitors, that could work. For example, I suppose that drawing it in the coordinates of (0.75*Xmax, 0.75*Ymax) would draw your Form in the middle of the second display. Hope this helps.
