Answer 1

Obviously, Copy is not the right API

CopySepcial might be what you need (though you'll have to look at docs yourself)

I suggest recording a macro in Word, while you insert a single simple shape. Inspect the code generated in the macro and mirror that for building up the shapes as shapes in the target document.

Answer 2

This may be a default thing in the Office.Interop library which cannot be changed.

Answer 3

somewhat i manged to copy shape in EMF format.

shape.Copy(); 

object objectMissing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;                                                                             
object objLink = false;
object objType = WdPasteDataType.wdPasteEnhancedMetafile;                                        
wordApp.ActiveWindow.Selection.Range.PasteSpecial(ref objectMissing, ref objLink, ref objectMissing, ref objectMissing, ref objType, ref objectMissing, ref objectMissing);
