I have a Chinese chop, in traditional characters. It is possible that it contains my name in Chinese (Szu Sung-Eh), or it could be something else entirely ("licensed prostitute"). I can no longer write my Chinese name, but I think I would recognize it if hand written, and certainly the last symbol doesn't look like anything I recognize (that and my name is three parts, not four).

Below the cut are images of the stamp/print, and the chop itself. Click for bigger.

Chop (since it is a stamp, it is backwards of how it prints)

If you know what it says, please enlighten me.

Edit: A mirror image of the chop and further discussion can be found here.

Yes, if you take Mandarin, you will certainly learn pinyin. I think your guesses are good, but again, without the written characters (in a modern font), it's still guesswork...

Shanghai-nese sounds pretty different from Mandarin to my ears -- then again, I tend to exaggerate the differences between languages I understand and languages I don't understand.
