Then I reduced my tip4 structure to spc and generated correct gro-file with dummy and shell and without virtuals MW. But! I see that coordinates of both dummy and shell particles coincide with oxygen atoms! Is it acceptable or the result of some mistake of mine?

The sw.itp file with your parametrization is in GROMACS distributives, the file of parameters for Roux group's model can be found in gmx-users archive. What about the third model (I mean the model of Gunsteren group)? Is it possible to get their parameter file?

You can easily make it yourself. Read chapter 5 in the manual and read 
the paper carefully.

For mkyaw you should check the extra flags (mkyaw -h).

You don't need pdb2gmx anywhere for water clusters.
