Are people usually told about shunning before baptism, or is this one of the little gold nuggets you find out about later?
Do most new members who are shunned end up leaving?
What would you tell someone who wants to become a JW?

One of my best friends was baptized at the age of 20 and DA'd at 34. He had NO IDEA of the shunning rule until well after his baptism. He was made aware of it by an elder after he conversed ever so briefly with a disfellowshipped person prior to the start of a thursday night meeting. Yes siree......they hide that nugget until you are already on the hook

Disfellowshipping is included in the questions before baptism. It was explained in some detail as I recall.

I would express my confidence that they are an intelligent person and if something doesn't seem quite right in Dodge, they'll get out of there.

If someone wants to become a dub, it's probably already too late to reason with him.
If he wanted to chat, I'd answer his questions, but I don't think I'd actively try to dissuade him.
