No, you should not give a person water if they may be in shock. When someone is in shock, their body is not functioning properly, and they may have difficulty swallowing or could aspirate the liquid. It's best to keep the person calm, warm, and lying down while waiting for medical help.
Nobody can safely touch the injured person during shock delivery. If anyone does, the shock will be transmitted to that person.

Usually yes. There are many visible symptoms of anaphylactic shock that don't go away when the person dies, such as hives, red or purple skin, and swelling of the face, tongue, and/or throat.

In cases of shock, it's crucial to seek professional medical help immediately and provide supportive care, such as keeping the person warm and comfortable.
Shock occurs due to massive bleeding and pain. Losing an arm will put a person into shock. Trauma will likely kill a person before it puts one into shock.
The person touching the victim will also receive an electric shock (not as powerful as the victim but a shock none the less).
The AED could pick up the heart rhythm of the person touching the victim and not shock when a shock is required.
The heart rate is typically rapid and fluttery. The skin may be pale and clammy. The person may be cool to the touch, and they may be disoriented and confused. Respiration would be rapid and shallow.
So the electric currents from the AED do not transfer from the victim to yourself, thus, you yourself becoming a victim of shock if exposed to the currents.
