You can use following approaches to fulfill your requirements:

To retrieve list data from SharePoint 2013 list, you can use SharePoint REST API.
To autopopulate the data from list, you can use datalist in html5.

Steps:

First retrieve all list items from SharePoint List using REST API.
Create arrays of options for each field on your form to autopopulate from data result you will get from REST.
Append those arrays of options to each field on your form using datalist tag.
