A taxi from The Bund to Shanghai Airport will set you back roughly 170RMB (17 USD) and take between one and one and a half hours. You're better off using the Maglev from the airport straight to Pudong. One way is about 50RMB and the train takes only 8 minutes (at 430km/h). Can't help with the hotel though.

The above poster needs to do a little more homework. First of all, RMB170 is about USD22. Except in rush hour, the taxi should take less than an hour.

The maglev drops you right in the middle of nowhere and outside the maglev station, taxis are run on by a monopoly supplier who may well try to rip you off. If you are going to take the maglev, continue on the subway. Note that the maglev stops at 5pm.

In answer to the first question --- If you want to go from Pudong Airport to HongQiao airport, the fee will be relatively steep. Hopefully your driver will select to go via the loop road that passes south of Shanghai so you do not have to deal with the mess/traffic jam of downtown Shanghai....Overall it will be in the range of RMB220. There are also buses that go from Pudong to HongQiao.

OP for your connection please take airport shuttle no.1 (30 RMB). Don't bother with the Maglev and etc as I presume you'll be having lots of luggage and not enough time nor energy to muck around like that. Taxi is expensive and I doubt it would be much faster than the airport shuttle anyway.
That hotel is eons away from what I would consider downtown Shanghai. Why did you pick that hotel?! Are you able to change it?
For sightseeing, Shanghai is a very well-touristed destination and you could easily find that information online or in any guidebook. If you want more specific recommendations I would advise you to tell us more about your sightseeing interests and preferences.
