Say I create a cron job that runs a Zsh or Bash script as /path/to/shell_script.sh
Would such a shell be a non-interactive non-login shell? If so, what shell init files would be executed (for Bash & Zsh)?
zsh sources .zshenv (source).
bash sources $BASH_ENV if set. (source)

I am using Terminal on MacOS. My main concern is that I’m commonly seeing command lines starting with the ‘$’ sign.
My command lines begins with a ‘%’ sign. Does this matter? If so, what is the reason?
The reason is that bash is no longer the default shell in macos. The default shell is now zsh which has certain advantages, such as floating-point operators.
You may set the Terminal default shell back to bash if needed. It's path is simply /bin/bash

On Ubuntu, I have fish installed, and have it set as my default shell using chsh -s /usr/bin/fish.
I would like to open a bash shell. Entering bash creates a new fish session. How can I open bash without ending my login session?
If you're typing bash and ending up in a fish shell it almost certainly means you have put exec fish in your ~/.bashrc script. Which is a commonly used technique to make fish your "default" shell without the risk that chsh -s /usr/bin/fish entails. Just remove that line from your .bashrc now that you no longer need it.

Using chsh I can change my login shell. However, how do I change my non-login shell? I am using Linux Mint with Cinnamon desktop.
I found the answer on AskUbuntu:
Cinnamon uses gnome-terminal and one must edit their profile to run any other shell than the default (bash).

I did something wrong with PATH, so currently if I type ls command I get:
bash: ls: command not found
How can I solve it?
Restore $PATH. The easiest way to do this is to close the current shell and open a new one (assuming you didn't futz with the shell startup files and this is why it's broken).

We use as the default shell: Bash on our servers but some of us like zsh more, so we searching for a way, to set ZSH automatically.
chsh to zsh i not an option.
How about
ssh -t remote_user#remote_host zsh
?
Depends on how 'automatically' do you want it.
If you want that just ssh -t remote_user#remote_host should give you zsh prompt, then you should think on the lines of bash functions probably. but IMO, that would be a really bad way to do it.
