I suppose you need to get to Futian Port firstly, and then take the escalator directly upstairs, where you can find the sign to Hong Kong and then arrive at the entrance and exit Hall of Futian port. Hong Kong is on another side after you finishing your immigration.

The shuttle bus stop at West Square, not very far from the station building. You can walk to reach there. If you cannot find it, you may try to ask information desk. You can buy ticket after you get off the bus.

Yes, 1 hour is surely enough as long as you have the paper tickets in hand. You can collect the paper tickets for the second trip to HK in advance at other station first. In this way, 1 hours is surely enough. The boarding process for HK direction is the same as other routes within China mainland.
