I prefer wearing squat shoes for power cleans and any movements which involve a jumpy-esque movement, such as push presses etc. I definitely don't like them for normal deadlifts though, I think nearly all powerlifters are better off without squat shoes for these as the heels are just too big - they increase the range of the lift which is something you don't want.

The socks are special olympic lifting socks, you can get them from Pullums Sports I think - I got mine when I went to a local OL competition.

You need to break at the arms at the top of the pull. With heavy enough weights you wont be able to do much with them, but with lighter weights the arms at the top pull should finish something like an upright row, obviously reducing ROM with increased resistence.
Bare in mind the main reason for cln pulls is to practice pulling the bar in the right position, at the right speed, and HIGH ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO CLEAN. To do that you need to bend your armsWink

And should it be hips and shrug at the same time, or is there an order?

Hips in, up on toes, shrug. That order. In fairness you'll need vid and slow mo replay to see that order correctly. I wouldnt like to put a timescale on that little medly.
