Can replacing shocks and struts fix an alignment?
Shocks and struts are more for the ride not the alignment. Tie rods, ball joints and how the front end is adjusted are the alignment. Jack the front end of the car off the ground. Grab the wheel at the top and bottom and see if it wiggles. If it does, that is the ball joints. Grab the sides and do the same. That is the tie rods, idler arm, pitman arm or drag link on rear wheel drive. Tie rods or the steering rack on front wheel drive. Having someone wiggle the wheel while looking at the steering linkages should let you see which part is worn.

What should be fixed first loose front ball joint or front tie rods?
If you had to pick, fix your ball joints first. The failure of a ball joint can cause the wheel to collapse. If your tie rod falls off then, you loose steering in one wheel. The 'dead' wheel will track along. You really ought to consider the economics of replacing them all at the same time because replacing either will call for a front end alignment and the failure of either will imperil your and your passenger's lives and the lives of people in the vicinity.
