No, Juliet from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is not considered a stock character. She is a well-developed and complex character with her own unique personality, motivations, and emotions.
None. Shakespeare did not "model his characters" on individuals. Since he borrowed most of his plots, the characters came with them. Shakespeare broadened the characters in the stories he found but rarely invented any. Many of his characters are stock characters or similar to them. (Maria in Twelfth Night, for example, is a soubrette) Falstaff if perhaps an exception. He appears to be entirely Shakespeare's character, and in making him Shakespeare drew no doubt on many real knights of his acquaintance. If Shakespeare had even heard of an artist who wandered from job to job around France and Italy a century earlier, his plays show no sign of such a character.

If Shakespeare wrote his plays for Queen Elizabeth it would be because Queen Elizabeth was held in high regard, so Shakespeare would have written the plays in her honor and name. However, Shakespeare did not write his plays for Queen Elizabeth. None of them are dedicated to her, and he wrote most of them after her death.
