  1. Yes it looks okay.

  2. That is a common FEA problem. You get infinite stress at supports due to infinite stiffness.This is a problem of stress concentration. For commercial design purposes what you did is okay.

    Shear wall location

    1. You need to divide the buildings to avoid irregularities especially in zone 4. 2. start with a crude model, no shear wall (only columns) and try to get the general feel of the structure. For that you could also roughly estimate the gravity loads (for mass source). For example 15-20 kpa let say (including sw+sdl+ll) as gravity load. 3. Iterate by putting in shear walls where you need it. Once the crude geometry is finalized you can go for detailed modelling/design and you will find out the importance of concept stage design at early stage.
