Full backups do not affect log shipping, only tlog backups do. You can take tlog backups outside of the log shipping plan, but you must apply them manually to the secondary server and put it in the correct state in order not to break log shipping. The reason why full backups do not affect log shipping is that they don't impact the transaction log chain. The things that affect the chain are tlog backups and truncating the tlog.

I don't know why you'd want to implement both log shipping and database mirroring, but yes that is possible.

There are lots of articles out there on how to properly monitor database mirroring. There's even stuff in BOL about it.

http://www.google.com/search?q=SQL+%22log+shipping%22+%22database+mirroring%22

The first result for me is an MSDN article on database mirroring and log shipping.
