Yes you can go to China as a tourist and find a job, then prcess the application to get a Z visa.  However, with the World Expo there things are tighetr and you might run into a few difficulties....but not insurmountable.  In theory, a Z visa can be issued in mainland China, but there is not much evidence of this happening.  However, you should be able to go to HK and get the visa.  As you are going to Shanghai you also have many visa agents there who will for a fee facilitate visa applications.  However, most employers should be able to do handle most of the issues, except perhaps getting a z visa locally.  Bear in mind that the z visa is only valid one month during which time your employer will organise the medical, and other formalities.

You will need two refernces from recent employers or individuals, that's not normally a strict requirement. Don't worry about the expert certificate as it is orgnised by the employer.

There is no central organisation of jobs, you can look on-line or ask around in Shanghai.

Most good jobs include accommodation on site, though language centres (which I would avoid like the plague) might not.

Have you checked out this site's visa info?  You should!  And check other threads in here.
