 * A quick questions: should NF protect a website on shared hosting from being affected
   by other infected websites to a greater degree than ‘normal’ firewalls that are
   not WAFs?

 * It depends on what you mean by “other websites”. If they are all under the same
   user account, there is nothing you can do. If one of them was hacked, all others
   would be hacked as well. If they are not under the same user account, you should
   be relatively safe: if one of them was hacked, others wouldn’t be affected.
