Maybe check them a little sooner as butter has a tendency to burn quicker.

yes, i do it all the time!

yeah but it just will be a tad diff taste wise.

Yes, you can but don't expect the same results.

Substituting butter might taste OK, but it doesn't cook the same. If the recipe calls for melting the shortening try a 50/50 mix.
