No the node service is not available in share. There are however lots of webscripts to navigate by path. Or list children etc.

You shouldn't use search.

It is not possible without using NodeService. Can you tell me why you dont want to use NodeService ?

You can use /cmis/query to issue a CMIS query statement to find a folder node by name.
and then use following api to get children contained in the specified folder.
