but weren't those Sabbaths pointing to Jesus Christ, as described in Hebrews (i.e. Jesus is our Sabbath rest). Also, why would you need a day of rest in heaven??

Well "shadow of things to come" was said after the Messiah ascended.

I have no idea. :-)

Interesting question. Both the Hebrew and Christian scriptures fortell a "new Heaven and a new Earth". Why a "new Earth", if we expect that the righteous will be in Heaven?
