1) metadata would be in the usual places, properties, aspects and associations of the node.
2) Share only works with files and folders. sys:base and cmbjects are not shown IIRC alfresco explorer does display non file nodes although it may take a bit of config.

Hi,

If the question is still actual, then:
You can use Alfresco data lists to store metadata only objects. So you can view objects in a table (datagrid). Alvex extension can be helpful if you want to make data lists smarter. It adds search for an object on any field, custom page to view metadata, configurable columns in a datagrid, auto numbering of the objects.
