How can you find out the cause and the difficulty and expense of fixing a leak in an upstairs shower?

Call a plumber or a contractor. Sometimes it would be too much money to fix or too much problem. If you do decide to buy the house, see if they will fix the problem or take some money off of the price, and with the money saved you can fix it:)

Where does upstairs sink water and shower water drain to?
There is a main drain that runs from the basement through the roof where it is the vent for the system. If you look at the layout of the house, the upstairs bath is most likely over the downstairs one or the kitchen. If you look on the roof, you will see a 4 inch pipe coming through the roof that should be over the upstairs bath. The sink and shower drain into that and then to the basement and out of the house. Most likely the main stack is in the wall behind the toilet.
