2) How much AC does the barbarian lose when he uses a sheild ?
The Barbarian receives half the AC rounded up from a shield. Thus, a 17/146% Awesome Shield would grant 21 AC for a Barbarian.
Using a shield is a poor choice anyway for the barbarian, I'd even recommend selling the initial Buckler.
The best weapon choice overall for this character class in the axe. Not only he receives the VIT Damage Bonus, still increased attacking speed ( compared to the Warrior ) and other benefits like "Faster Hit Recovery".

Except in pure mathematics, nothing is known for certain (although much is certainly false).
