Is there a way to use the button mapper to make one of the buttons on my WH grip a shift button? Specifically, the NWS button. I'm using a GF Pro with a WH grip.

Yes, of cource!
Do you use VKB configuration utility VKBdevcfg.exe? If no download it.
Launch (joystick must be connected). Open Profile - Buttons - Physical layer tab.

This is an example of simple buttons.
Check Poll and press joystick button, you want to be Shift. You will see red dot in its cell. Click this cell. Button mapping wizard dialog appears.

Select SHIFT from combobox. Press Set button on action tab. Controller will restart and after that your buntton will work as button modifier. More information you can get from user guide https://yadi.sk/d/7FMUBTQa3Q9uH5.
Official software and firmware files you can find here http://ftp.vkb-sim.pro.
Up-to-date betas (working, tested)):
Configurator https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B1WRiD1czmcHMVBEcVQ0dndyNG8,
Firmware https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B1WRiD1czmcHbklBX2hMSEN0bzA?usp=sharing.
If you will have additional questions or troubles please show screenshots of Global - Common tab and Global - external one.

Good luck!

PS
My pictures show an example. I use Mamba controller. You controller name will be another. Also your cell number (button line number) willl not be the same.

Is shift usable across devices. Can the we use a button on stick as shift for another VKB stick?

Once again - yes, of course))) If they are connected via BUS.

What type of cable is used for BUS?
