1. Is there a better way to reverse without damaging the clutch?
You are not damaging the clutch, you are wearing the clutch disc out faster. You can use less throttle and slip the clutch less.

2. Is this normal or am I doing it wrong?
You would have to be more specific about the shaking, as there are several potiental causes.
