i think you should hook into the event "customer_save_after", then you could also save the updates which the users do on their data...

<events>
    <customer_save_after>
        <observers>
            <your_event_identifier>
               <class>customClassIdentifer/observer</class>
               <method>afterSave</method>
            </your_event_identifier>
        </observers>
    </customer_save_after>
</events>

there you can get the customerdata with:

$customerModel = $event->getObserver()->getObjectData();

and save it in the other Database...

You will need to enter in .domain.com in Magentos admin->system->configuration->web->cookie domain. You will need to make the cookie available to your other subdomains in order for it to be read. This is the same with all web applications.
