There are two ways in which the American Revolution helped cause the French Revolution:The French paid an exorbitant amount of money to help sustain the Colonial Rebel Army and for French armies and navies to fight against the British. As a result, French coffers were notoriously bankrupt.The ideas of the American Revolution, such as the equality of all people and personal freedoms were very attractive to the French bourgeoisie who were limited by authoritarian laws and legal inequalities with the French nobility and clergy. The success of the American Revolution served to inspire the French to rise up and clamor for equality.

Well this is a bit speculative, but you could argue that both were religious wars. The two "religions" in question were Christianity and atheistic rationalism. The French revolution was a rejection of Christianity in favour of atheistic rationalism. In the American Civil war, the North were the atheists and the South was still essentially Christian, despite its liking for slavery.

Britain was not involved in the French Revolution. The common people overthrew the French aristocrats.
Revolution in this context has come to mean some governmental system is turned around to be radically different to what went on before. The American Revolution, The French Revolution, The Russian Revolution all produced systems which were radically different to whatever went before. A common feature of all those was a replacement of Monarchy by a Republic, which is a very different system of government. The English Revolution (Cromwell) was aborted by the Restoration of the King.

The leaders of the French Revolution and the leaders of the American Revolution had one thing in common, they dramatically changed the politics, economics and society of their situation. That's where the commonality ended. The British Empire remained the power it always had been since the end of the French wars of the mid 18th century. In France the entire system was changed within a still major power.The American revolutionaries were not freeing a "starving" colony from the Empire. While in France, there was true poverty among the lower classes and people against the monarchy were severely punished. As the question speaks to the commonality between the two sets of revolutionaries, that's where it ends. The leaders of the French revolution only brought on death and destruction and the rise of a new "king" Napoleon Bonaparte.
Crane Brinton's "Anatomy of Revolution" is a historical analysis that explores the patterns and phases of revolutions.
