Navigate to "Videos" menu, Click "Add Videos"
Window will pop up, hit browse.
Choose "Windows Network (SMB)"
Navigate to your movies folder(s).
Window will pop up, "this folder contains" - pick "movies"
repeat for TV shows folder.

Yes. There should be an option under the main menu, "appearance" to edit all aspects of the main menu, you can add custom shortcuts to anywhere in kodi, as well as external programs like netflix web browser etc. The idea being you boot right into kodi and use it as the front end for everything. Each skin has their own take on the customizations, so find the one you want then do your menus.
