And another quesion. Is this adresses also generating from the same space of numbers as P2PKH keys? I mean, that for example I have a private key
-snip-
For this key I have two P2PKH adresses  1AxSQFHqQ2nFUbZwcWSmHYrYumuQnK2nYG 12b9TofPY9R5gtKRUHBWjQrNP6mBYZuFqr. Can I generate also P2SH adress using this key?
The first address is generated from the uncompressed public key pair of that private key.
The next address is from the compressed public key.

More info here: learnmeabitcoin.com/technical/public-key

Why BitCrack doesn't support new types of adress? (from '3' or 'bc' starting)?
Probably because it's designed to bruteforce the "puzzle transaction" (link), and the puzzle's addresses aren't p2sh nor bech32.

Thanks for everybody for explanation.
And any tool to take participate in loterry? I want random bruteforce of all keyspace, at a database of all BTC adresses with balance

I think about Hashcat, but it doesn't take secret exponent, in can bruteforce onli WIFs
