To refer your second question, you are describing for two people "Mrs. Li and Kitty". In this condition, it is using in "plural" form, so the correct answer must be:
"Are Mrs. Li and Kitty in a big shop?
However, if you wrote with the verb "is", we say that it is a singular form. Then you can ask as below:
Is Mrs. Li in a big shop?
Is Kitty in a big shop?
Is Mrs. Li or Kitty in a big shop?
