"Šedá myš" may refer to the animal, but more likely it's an idiom for a shy person. I'm not sure which idioms would suit in English ("a grey mouse" doesn't seem to fit), but the idiomatic translation should definitely be preferred.

In English there is something rather similar: "as quiet as a mouse". It refers mostly to someone being very quiet and meek, not necessarily shy.

Depends on the context, both are possible. It does not really matter if it is a person or some other object. The usual rules apply.
