It's better to write these out yourself, but for reference, here's the final expression for your Layer: position:
var shiftAmount = thisComp.layer("CONTROLLER").effect("Shifter")("Slider");
thisComp.layer(index - 1).transform.position + [-shiftAmount,shiftAmount];
Here's the final expression to paste into your Layer: Effects - Fill - Color:
var greyValue = thisComp.layer("CONTROLLER").effect("ColorShift")("Slider");
var r = greyValue;
var g = greyValue;
var b = greyValue;
var a = 1;
thisComp.layer(index-1).effect("Fill")("Color") + [r,g,b,a];
