Answer 1

It's fairly complex, but I would make it using ajax. The following is only a suggestion, since there are several ways to implement such a change.
Create /custom/moduels/Quotes/MyJS.js
In MyJS.js make an ajax call which is executed when changing the contacts dropdown and that updates the shipping/billing info with the return values.
Create /custom/modules/Quotes/MyFunctions.php
In MyFunctions.php make the php function which is called by the ajax call. This function loads the contact's info and returns it in a JSON string
Create a new entrypoint for the ajax call, which points to the MyFunctions.php
Copy /modules/Quotes/tpl/Create/EditViewFooter.tpl to /custom/modules/Quotes/tpl/Create/EditViewFooter.tpl
Edit EditViewFooter.tpl and make it include MyJS.js
