To what extent has power shifted away from federal government towards the states in the last 25 years in the USA?
I am in agreement. The Federal government has extrapolated its authority over the states. The fact that the Federal government can step in and cease or regulate state-run-agencies is proof. State's Rights has diminished much more greatly than ever, probably in the last 2-3 decades. The states are their own sovereign power, so to speak, they are ultimately regulated by a higher authority--the Federal government. As far as i can tell the states have lost some of their power not the federal government.
Does allowing a state to take an action that opposed federal law undermine the federal government?
this question is an opinion question. the fact that the federal government can ever feel undermined my a state's decision means that the federal government is indeed not supreme and the supremacy clause should be defined unsupported.

Should you sign your federal before filing state?
I don't think they'll ever find out which order you signed your returns in and I doubt that they care. If your concern is that you need to send a copy of your federal return with your state return and are wondering whether you should sign it, that is up to your state. It can't hurt to sign it even if it's not required.
