Yes, but it was a rare word back then and now is not used in common speech at all except in reference to its use in Romeo and Juliet. Because the word is not in general use, it hasn't had the chance to change its meaning.

Why would the Elizabethan audience enjoy the play Much Ado about Nothing?
Elizabethan audiences enjoyed the plays they watched for pretty much the same reasons as people do today, which is why Elizabethan plays keep getting produced. They were probably quicker to understand what they heard than we are, and were better listeners (modern people expect a story to be shown to them, not told to them). Elizabethans particularly enjoyed wordplay that used puns and alliteration: that is why Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost was much more popular then than now. A lot of the wordplay in Much Ado is still accessible to modern audiences.

What does shalt mean in Elizabethan English?
Shakespeare wrote in Elizabethan English, but he had an affinity for the older forms of the second person singular. Although by his time most people used the second person plural forms (you, your, yours) in the singular sense as we do today, Shakespeare liked the old distinctively singular forms (thou, thy, thine). These pronouns took verb endings in -st or -t: thou dost (for you do), thou hast (for you have), thou wilt (for you will). Thou shalt thus means "you shall" and will be instantly recognizable to many people from its use in the King James Bible version of the Ten Commandments: "Thou shalt not kill", for example. The KJ version of the Bible was also written in Elizabethan English, and an even more old-fashioned form than Shakespeare used.

What is learned about the lives of Elizabethan women presented in Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet'?
Not much. The story is not an English story, and is older than the Elizabethan era. Thirteen-year old girls were not forcibly married in Elizabethan England, nor were they kept cloistered in their parents' house, nor were they Catholics, as everybody in this play is. In other words, the play is useless as a social document about Elizabethan England, but then it is not a social document but a script for an entertainment. A better play to consider life in Elizabethan England is The Merry Wives of Windsor.
