Answers:
Grated is finer than shredded. Shredded looks like thin strips, grated is more of a powdery consistency and is usually done with harder cheeses like Parmesan.
Experience.
There really isn't much difference - how fine you want it depends on what you are making but it is to you taste so try each section of the grater and see which you like the best.
In the case of paremesan cheese, grated is almost a powdery consistancy
