Why would a 1999 VW Passat suddenly start shaking violently at idle and low speeds after 62K miles?

If the car shakes at idle, I assume you mean it is parked. If that is the case, the engine could be misfiring due to bad ignition components, or worn/broken internal components. You can zero in on the cause by listening to other noises the engine is making (tapping, pushing or pulling air, knocking, grinding, popping, etc.) and paying attention to where the noises are coming from. If you get someone with experience to listen to the car, s/he can rule out several causes also by what s/he DOESN'T hear. Addition: I had the same problem with my 99 passat and what ended up being the problem was a bag ignition module

Check the entire front end. Wheel bearings, ball joints and tie rod ends can all wear and call this problem.

That would be a tornado. But there is no evidence that speeds get close to 400 mph. The highest known winds in a tornado were just over 300 mph.
How do you fix a shaking steering wheel?
You probably need to get your tires balanced. Or replaced. If the bias goes (steel belt breaks or shifts), the car will waddle at low speeds, and the steering wheel will shake at high speeds.
