The first question.
I had a dispute with my English teacher. She told me that "am I not" is old fashioned and not used anymore and that "aren't I" is better to be used, but I don't agree with her at all. In my opinion, "am I not"(by example, in "I am your teacher, am I not?") is more grammatically correct than the form "aren't I" which makes no sense for me, at all.
The pronom "am" is used for the first person, not "are".
But anyway, what is your opinion about: "am I not", "aren't I", "ain't I" and "amn't I"?
The second question.
Should I use "shall/I shan't" or "will/won't" for the first person? Once again, in my opinion, the first one is more grammatically corect.

"ain't I" is even lower register than "aren't I".
"amn't I" is not used in standard modern English. It appears dialect or old-fashioned.
