the curve would shift to the right
It would probably cause the supply curve upwards and shift to the left.
leftward
Yes. Equilibrium is created at the intersection of the Demand curve and Supply Curve. Equilibrium can be shifted if the Demand curve increases or decreases, and the same happens when the Supply curve increases or decreases. Without demand, you would just have a Supply curve.
An inrease in the retirement age would effectively increase a country's labor supply, shifting the production possibilities curve right.

Upgrades to its mixing equipment allow the plant to make more bars.
A shift in a demand or supply curve occurs when a good's quantity demanded or supplied changes even though price remains the same. So a shift to the right would mean the good quantity suppled has increased even the the price is still the same.
A change in price level would cause movement along the demand curve, but would not cause the curve itself to shift.
This is due to an expansion(contraction) of the supply curve. i.e. the suppliers are willing to produce more(less) for the same level of price than before. This can be due to many factors such as a tax cut, better technology allowing more efficient production, natural disaster..... In short, any factors expect price would shift the entire supply curve to the right(expansion) or to the left(contraction)
there would be an eventual upward movement along the demand curve, reestablishing equilibrium

A perfectly inelastic supply relation would be defined as one where the quantity produced remains static under any price change. If we'd plot this curve in the familiar demand-supply framework with price being on the y-axis and quantity on the x-axis, the curve would be vertical.
