In a 2-whistle game, the trail official has primary responsibility for the shot-clock. If the trail official is unsure or does not sound the whistle, then the lead official should definitely call it. So you may have a double whistle, but probably should not.

If the shooter does not beat the shot clock and is on the perimeter, does the inbounds spot go to the spot where the ball was shot from or the spot where the ball is when it lands?

I'm not exactly sure if you mean that the shot has not left the shooter's hand, or that the shot is out of the shooter's hand but fails to hit the rim. If the ball is still in the shooter's hand when the shot-clock horn sounds, then the ball is inbounded at the nearest spot to where the player was.
If the ball is released, but fails to hit the rim, then I think the answer is the same. I just looked it up in the NCAA rulebook, and all it says is that the inbound spot is the spot closest to where the violation took place. I'll have to check another source.

I have been advised to not to sound my whistle at the end of quarters as the horn is self explanatory and a coach may think you have a foul if you whistle. thoughts on this?

I agree with that advice. The only time you'd need to blow the whistle at the end of a period is if you need to emphatically wave off a basket or something like that.

Do you sound your whistle for the shot clock violation?

Yes.
I'll get back to you on the shot clock violation inbound spot as soon as possible.
