1. Yes, but you will have to apply for a China transit visa in advance. You are right that your Australian wife don't need a visa for this. If you will just visit the city and won't go to any scenic spot, it won't cost much.
2. No hourly hotel at Shanghai Pudong and Hongqiao airport in fact. Thus, you need to book an hourly hotel outside of the airport, then the visa is still necessary for you.

I heard that China also issue 24-hour stay permit at the airport for the convenience of international passengers who transit China for a short period of time but want to visit the city. You may consult your air company about this.
