Answer 1

You can select multiple songs at the same time. If they are all in a row (one after the other), click the first one to select it, press and hold the Shift key, then click the last one. Drag and drop the entire selection to the iPod shuffle under DEVICES.
You should also be able to select songs not in a row by pressing and holding the Option and Command keys, then clicking on the songs you want to select. Once selected, drag and drop any select songs and they should all follow.
Also (the most convenient way to fill the shuffle), you can use the Autofill feature at the bottom of the iPod's Contents tab in iTunes. First, make a new playlist and call it "shuffle songs" or whatever you want to call it. Put all the songs you want on the shuffle into that playlist. Now go to the Autofill controls and select to +Autofill from+ the playlist you just created and populated. Then, click on the "Autofill" button. The shuffle will sync with the playlist all in one shot, instead of having to do it manually a bit at a time.
To answer your second question, you can drag the songs in the iPod's Contents tab to reorder them. The sequential order of the songs in the shuffle is as shown when you click at the top of the leftmost column (the one with the numbers). With this column selected (the header should be highlighted), you can drag the songs to be in the order you want.
