Answer 1

You can copy the template default/template/paypal/express/review.phtml to your theme and modify it.

1. To just preselect a shipping method add at the end of the file:

<script type="text/javascript">
    //<![CDATA[
    jQuery("#shipping_method").val('flatrate_flatrate');
    //]]>
</script>

Where 'flatrate_flatrate' is the shipping method value you want to preselect

2. Tell the customer to select a shipping method [better solution]

In my opinion a better solution is to tell the customer to select a shipping method.

Add a little hint above the "Place Order" button

<div id="missing_shipping_method" style="display:none; padding: 5px; color: #ff0000; float:right;">
    Please select a shipping method.
</div>

Add a little javascript snippet at the very end of the review.phtml to control the hint box and add/remove a red border from the select box

<script type="text/javascript">
    //<![CDATA[
    jQuery('#shipping_method').change(function() {
        if (jQuery("#shipping_method").val() === "") {
            jQuery("#missing_shipping_method").show();
            jQuery("#shipping_method").css({
                'border': '2px solid',
                'border-color': '#ff0000'
            });
        } else {
            jQuery('#missing_shipping_method').hide();
            jQuery("#shipping_method").css({
                'border': '0px'
            });
        }
    });

    jQuery(document).ready(function() {
        jQuery('#shipping_method').trigger('change');
    });
    //]]>
</script>
