Every interrupt handler is supposed to return IRQ_NONE if it did not handle
it. That does not depend on shared or not. The handler does not know if
it's on a shared interrupt line or not. IRQF_SHARED only tells, that the
handler is capable of sharing the interrupt line with another device.

No.

Wrong guess. That might work with level interupts, but with other types
nothing will raise another exception. Sharing interrupts on edge types is a
stupid idea, but hardware folks insist on implementing stupid ideas.
