Hi, Most of your questions are answered in the TinyOS tutorials, primarily lesson 3 and 4: http://docs.tinyos.net/tinywiki/index.php/TinyOS_Tutorials
1. View the output of dmesg or read /var/log/messages directly after plugging in the Span. Two FTDI serial ports should be detected (e.g. /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSB1). The first port is used to program the Span, the second to communicate with it over a serial line. The standard TinyOS "motelist" command won't find a Span (or any of the shimmer docks), but it is very easily modified to do so. 2. Yes, except with TelosB motes you only get one serial port on the PC which is used for programming and communication, on a Span you have two as already described. 3. As long as you keep the fact about the 2 different serial ports in mind then you can follow the TinyOS tutorials and use the standard apps such as BaseStation, BlinkToRadio, etc. 4. The shimmer has two radios, 802.15.4 and a Bluetooth. A span can communicate with a Shimmer configured to use the 802.15.4 radio, but not if configured to use the Bluetooth radio. There are 16 separate 802.15.4 channels. Unless you go manually changing the one used it should default to the same on both the Shimmer and the Span (probably channel 26).
