Answer 1

I don't see anything that would disallow it. I've taken a look through the shifter rules and the barbarian rage ability:

---

Rage

Rage has a few governing factors. The important points are

• Use a bonus action to start
• Do not gain certain benefits if wearing heavy armor
• Cannot cast spells or maintain concentration
• Lasts one minute, or until ended

---

Shifters

• Shift takes a bonus action to begin
• Lasts a minute, or until ended

Most importantly, the shift is not described as a spell. As such, it seems like there shouldn't be any issues with rageshifting.
