It would be fine to add chlorine, but do it in each corner of the pool. You will not do any harm to the system. Make sure your pool water is balanced. This requires a good proper kit like they use at the pool shops, or have it tested at a computerized pool teting centre. The old large kit that tests for acid levels around 4"x6" is the size of the blue plastic box and roughly 80-100 dollars.
a little more salt than not enough is always better.

No, pool shock is normally a really strong chlorine and stabilizer is like sunscreen for the chlorine

Do you need to turn off your automatic salt chlorinator when adding shock to a salt water pool?
By Shock I guess you mean a packet of Chrlorine marketed as "Shock or "Shock Treatment" which is esentially just chlorine packaged at a higfher price.
