Ryan, no, you are not eligible for the 72 hour free transit if you travel like that. A transit G type is needed.

Ryan, yes, it is correct. You need to inform the airlines that you want to use the 144 hour free transit in Shanghai when you board the flight in San Francisco. After arriving in Shanghai, you can go to the transit counter to apply for the 144 hour free transit.
You can enter and leave via different airports in Shanghai.
