Hi Scott,

Technically, the way you indicate this is written, the shear design value is
the governing condition.  I am not too familiar with the IBC, being in CA,
but the UBC is similar.  The biggest difference is in the UBC, the footnote
reads"when the allowable shear value exceeds 350 plf".

Therefore in answer to question 1, in the UBC we use the table value not the
"design shear".

For question 2, if a less than 350 plf panel is applied to each face with
offset joints, 3x framing is not required.  However also in the UBC, if the
total design shear for the wall exceeds 600 plf than 3x plates are required.
