Yes, you need to claim the luggage and re-check it if you don't hold a through ticket. There seems no special lanes for transit passengers. However, if you are in a hurry, you may ask the staff for help. Good luck~

You need to take train from Shanghai South Railway station to Wuxi Railway station first, then you can take shuttle bus line 1 to the airport directly.

Sorry, there is no direct bus you can take. Maybe you can take high speed train from Hongqiao Railway station to East Wuxi Railway station, then take shuttle bus Jiangyin Huashi Line to the airport.
