Question #1- Those shocks will only fit the E-Savage. They are shorter shocks.

E-Savage Shocks: are 5.7" uncompressed
Savage shocks are 6.5-6.75" uncompressed, so up to an inch longer.

Question #2- Those shocks are definitely threaded. I am not a big fan of those shocks though. They never had that smooth of motion and they leaked quite often.

If I was going to pick up Savage shocks, I would probably get these-

I personally have aluminum shocks on my savage and will never buy another one again. I bent 4/8 aluminum ones and the stock ones are still all in one piece and back on my truck. If anything go with the LST shocks.

What's the real difference between the Aftershock and LST shocks? I read it somewhere here, but can't find it now.
