And I know that I shouldn't be doing this on a shared account, but I'm just playing around.
Buddy, if you "shouldn't be doing that" then "just playing around" is no excuse.

Unless you have root on the machine, adduser won't work. And passwd doesn't accept a password on the command line (it would be a huge security breach if it did), you'll have to use Expect;

As for the rest of your questions, they depend on the details of how the server was set up, and this is not the place to discuss them. You want a unix discussion forum. Go back two routers and turn left.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
