will it adjust to a wider container, say 16 inches ?

Yes, none of the pictures show it, but if you look at the right side, there's a handle that pulls out on rails, so that this can fit over larger containers. It expands from about the 11" (size of bucket included) out to about 15" wide. It just fits my standard 11 gallon kitchen trash can.

Does this shredder feed straight down into it? So many feed at an angle and where we use one it needs to feed straight down.

If pulls the paper into it in the angle that if first grabs the paper. And since it's just a small bit wider than 8-1/2", this means that you need to be careful and start the paper in straight, or it will be pulled off to the side. Then if there are too many pages, it'll jamb. I found 3,4 will still be pulled through even if crooked, but 4 or more will usually need for you to bump the Reverse button and pull it out a few inches to re-position. Then it will finish up OK.

Does this have a reverse setting as well as forward & auto start???

It does have auto, reverse, off, as well as an additional button for Jam Remover/CD Destroyer

Will this cut pieces of cardboard?

no it won't and only cuts cd's in 3 pieces
