You should shower at least once a day before you go to bed, this helps keep your bed cleaner.
Taking a shower when you just wake up is a good way to get refreshed and start your day, but if you're in a rush then you can just rinse your hair and wash your face with cold water to wake youself up.
Brushing should be done at least twice a day, once in the morning and once at night before you go to sleep.
However, to maintain proper oral hygine, you should brush more than this with non bleaching/whitening toothpaste.
It is NOT sweets and candy that cause cavities, as the sugar dissolves very quickly in your mouth and is washed away from your teeth by saliva. The main problem that causes it is starchy food like rice, crackers and bread! When you chew, the food sticks to your teeth and is very hard to remove without brushing, it also does not get washed away with saliva or drinking.
Thus you should brush once after every major meal, or when you eat starchy food.
Hope this helps!

I personally shower 1-2 times a day and brush my teeth 3 times a day but I suppose the best time is when you start to smell.

as many times as needed.
Usual for brushing your teeth is first thing in the morning and last thing at night, although some people floss after every meal, gargle with water after they eat, brush after every meal, and even once a month or more use a whitener, so it's up to you what kind of teeth you have (your own, veneers, false).
Usually people shower first thing in the morning (before going to work) and before bed time. Some people live by the beach and some in hotter weather so they shower more... is your choice.

Depends on what you have been doing regarding the shower, but I would think daily at least for a shower.
Brushing teeth, after eating, or again at least morning and evening, becareful about brushing teeth if you have not long had a fizzy drink.

I would recommend showering once to two times daily. Brush your teeth in the morning, and before bedtime. Floss once a day, preferably b4 bedtime.
