No, the motion of Earth cancels out with the motions of stars. Yes, they will shift north.

Answer 1

Yes, they will shift south.

If you observe the night sky from a location further south than 34˚ N latitude, the constellations will indeed appear to shift. As you move closer to the equator, you can see more southern constellations that are not visible from higher latitudes, and the constellations that are visible will appear higher in the sky.
