If two players are left in the game, and they have both gone all in, one of these players has double the amount of chips than the other. When we reached the end of the hand, we both had the same hands (or of equal value etc.) How do we split the pot??

well say the player with the smaller stack had 1500 chips
and the bigger had 6000... once the small stack went all in with his 1500 chips
and the bigger would put up 1500 aswell... and if you had the same cards.. and you had to splt... you would get your money back... ever single chip of it.

Split the pot in half (the money the player with less chips can't match does not go into the pot, it remains in his stack)

You both will end up where you started.
And for future reference:
You can't win more from a single opponent than you have put into the pot.
Ie. if you have 300 and you have 2 opponents with 600 each and you go all in, if you have the best hand at the end - you can only win 300 from opponent 1, 300 from opponent 2 and your own 300 chips.
Any chips they have bet into the pot besides these 300 go into a sidepot which their hands will compete for.

You split the pot, but the player with more chips doesn't put all of it his chips in. He only has to put enough to match the other player (he basically has a side pot of the amount he has that other player could not match, but since there is only one player in for the sidepot, he just gets his chips back).

My best recommendation to you is to get in the habit of making sidepots. So if there are 2 players or 10 players involved in a hand you always take what a player puts in and match it with what is called.
Example:
Player 1: 1000
Player 2: 2500
Player 3: 2000
Player 4: 500
If player 1 bets 200, player 2 calls, player 3 calls, player 4 goes all-in for 500, player 1 calls the extra 300, player 2 goes all-in (putting in 1800 more for 2000 - note he has a stack of 500 which he leaves out), player 3 calls the 1800, and player 1 calls his remaining 500 chips. In this example you have a main pot for 4x 500 = 2000 (players 1, 2, 3 cannot pay off more than player 4 has). You have multiple sidepots. The first is between players 1, 2, 3 and is for 1500 (500 from each player) because this maxes out the amount player 1 can put in the pot (1000 total). The second sidepot is between players 2 and 3, and is 2000 (1000 put in by each). In this example lets say that player 4 has the best hand, player 1, the second best, and player 3 the third best. Player 4 wins the 2000 pot, player 1 would take down the 1500 sidepot, and player 3 wins the remaining 2000 sidepot.
If you understand how this example works you will have no problem dealing with situations between two players - and as many as are involved...
