Yes. That happens regularly.
It also happens regularly with plain old AM radio. That's why you can keep listening to
AM radio as you drive through the hills near the city where the AM station is located.

No, not at all. Shortwave listening is a very popular hobby. You can buy ready-made or build-it-yourself shortwave radios. However, as a lifelong shortwave listener, there is, admittedly, less to listen to on shortwave today that formerly.
AM Waves diffract more than FM waves.
Yes, on shortwave or HF radio (they are the same) the super bowl will be broad cast from multiple locations. It can be found at this link http://mt-shortwave.blogspot.com/2008/02/superbowl-xlii-by-shortwave-radio.html
Radio waves are typically diffracted around hills due to their long wavelengths. This diffraction allows radio signals to bend over obstacles and reach areas that would be inaccessible if the waves traveled in a straight line.
Radio frequency radiation can be defracted by hills.

its hard to believe but a shortwave radio can take you around the world for a song

Good places to start with would be Radio Shack, Amazon, and places like that. Read the reviews on the different types of portable shortwave radios to find the best one.
