yes, teeth are naturally going to shift if nothing is there to space them out

Yes, it will cause the other teeth to start shifting if you don't have a false tooth to fill up that space left by the extracted tooth. The teeth behind it start to move forward and those in front start to move back to fill up the gap. It can cause serious alignment problems with the other teeth because they no longer fit together when you close your mouth.

The removal of any tooth will cause the other teeth to shift--at least the ones on the same side of the gums.

yes, any gap that there is between your teeth will naturally try to fill up. this usually causes bone loss in the surrounding teeth, though, so if you are able to get a partial it would probably be a good idea.
