I'm not sure about the sharkbites causing the problem. The root of the problem is that the water flow through the tub filler spout is restricted somewhere, and that is causing the water to gradually rise up to the shower head. The restriction could be anything from solder that seeped into a joint to a kinked piece of tubing or to using too small diameter tubing to the tub filler. Find the restriction, fix it, and the problem should be solved.

How can you stop water leaking through the shower head when both cold and hot water are on but you want the water coming in through the tub faucet and not through the shower head?

If the faucet contains the re-direction valve (closes off the water from the faucet and redirects the water to the shower head) you need to rotate the faucet counter clock wise to unscrew it from the plumbing and replace it with a new one. Take the old one to your local box store and they can match it up for you.
