No, a penalty shot is called when a player has a clear breakway and is obstructed in any illegal way. When a referee calls a penalty shot, there is no choice, the player who was obstructed must take the shot.

A penalty shot is awarded when the player has a clear opportunity to skate up to and shoot on the goalie without an opposing player in between them AND an opposing player comes from behind (or from the side) and infracts the player (by tripping, hooking, throwing the stick, etc). There is some judgment by the referee as to whether the player had a clear break or not. If the penalty shot is not awarded, then a minor penalty is.

No and Yes, when a person gets a penalty when they're all alone the coach can decide if he wants a penalty shot or if he wants a powerplay. Although if the player who gets the penalty, gets a minor for tripping but then also punches the kid and gets a misconduct there is a penalty shot and a powerplay.
