No.

Shingles is caused by the same virus as chicken pox, the virus Herpes zoster. However, since it is a virus you can catch it from other people, but it is not an std.
No, the disease is caused by a reactivation of the chickenpox virus that has lain dormant in certain nerves following an episode of chickenpox.
