Is Favorites in the upper part of Mail section (in Outlook 2013) the same as Shortcuts section, except that it's limited to Mail? It's been a few years since I last used the favorites in Outlook, and I think there used to be only one of these. I assume there's probably no way to keep Favorites in sync with a Shortcut Group?

Also, is there any way to move the two "mini monthly calendars" which appear above the folders/shortcuts list on the left (when you switch to calendar), to some other part? (i.e. anywhere but there... I think they used to be on the right... it's kind of annoying as they move the folders down and reduce their "real estate"...)
 
No, they aren't the same, although they serve a similar purpose. Shortcuts pane can hold folders or files or applications, mail favorites is mail only. They don't stay in sync.

Calendars: no. You can slide the bar up so only one shows. In older versions, if the to-do bar navigation calendars were visible, the ones on the left weren't. They changed the calendar control for the new to-do bar so that doesn't work any more. :(
