Short sale tax liability?
Much of whether there is tax liability of a short sale depends on whether the home was a primary residence or not. In most circumstances you will not pay taxes on a short sale if it was your primary residence. This is because of a law that went into effect called the Mortgage Debt Relief Act. If the property was an investment and not a primary residence you may have to pay taxes.

Do you still have to pay 1099 taxes if property was your primary residence?
Yes this could be very possible depending on the amount of the gain that you had on the sale of your primary residence. And if you have a 1099 in your hand it would be a good idea to report the transaction on your 1040 federal income tax return for the year of the sale.
Can you avoid capital gains taxes on the sale of your principal residence by reinvesting it in another property of lesser value?
You are thinking of old tax law, long gone. If you lived in the house as your principal residence for at least two of the preceding five years, and your profit on the sale does not exceed $250,000 ($500,000 married filing jointly), no taxes are due.

Can you avoid capital gains taxes from the sale of a second home you did not live in and used the proceeds to buy a new primary residence?
I can't think of any. Understanding that it is the sale of a primary residence that gets a tax break...not the making of income to purchase one. Except for the special conditions under Sect 1031, what one does with the money after a recognition event normally can't effect the taxability of the event preceding it.
