The damage you do multiply like a weapon would?

No. Spirited Charge says "you deal double damage with a melee weapon". While your shocking grasp charge allows you to treat yourself as armed, it is not a melee weapon (or even a weaponlike spell like Flame Blade).

Actually not crystal clear, but mostly no - on the basis of touch spells not being weapons.

Yes.

Touch attacks and Rays are eligible (treated as weapons) for Weapon Focus. So it stands that Shocking Grasp (a touch attack) counts for Spirited Charge.

Here's a thread discussing the issue of touch spells with weapon feats: http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2qcrs?Vital-Strike-and-Spells

Still no. A bow is eligible for weapon focus, but is not a melee weapon. Neither is shocking grasp.
