I'd say it's the shaft. I don't imagine you're making that much power, but my friends run similar set ups with the stock shaft and dump the clutch, kick it multiple times to disrupt the driveline and no problems. Stick in the OEM one or get a aluminum one.

As for the second question, could be a couple things. Anywhere from bushings to the drivetrain. I'd put my money on the flywheel. Get that checked out, could need a resurfacing, so it causes alot of vibrations.

Third, the reverse.. you have an s13 right? I'm willing to bet it's the right rear brake caliper. I've had a few friends with the exact same grinding/crunching.. After they've change the rear caliper (with new pads/rotors, no more grindage. This has happened more than one time.
