The wave from thunderwave will not pass through the wall, nor would the effect of a shatter spell... but I see nothing preventing you from chosing a point on the other side of a wall of force as the origin of the 10-foot-radius sphere created by shatter.   Teleportation is not physically traveling through the wall, so it is not stopped by the wall.
