Is that possible during moving of the lists to a new server to move all users along with their e-mails, names, passwords and preferences they set, so that they would not need to resubscribe (or that list-owner would not need to subscribe them again, what would unfortunately generate new passwords for them)? Which files to move in order to do that?

Move the directories and files in the lists/ directory. At a minimum all you really need for list settings, members, member options and passwords is the lists/<listname>/config.pck (or config.db for pre 2.1.x) file for each list.

You can move a config.* from an older release to a newer release and Mailman should automatically update it on the new release, but I think this is only guaranteed for config.pck files. In the case of a config.db file, there are possible incompatibilities if the Python versions are different on the source and destination.
