How does the surface behind a shadow affect the shape and size of an shadow?

If the shadow is on a convex surface, it will be bigger. On a concave surface it will be smaller. If the light source is at a low angle to the opaque object causing the shadow (e.g. you're casting a shadow from a flashlight behind you, to a sidewalk in front), the shadow will be relatively tall. If the angle of the light is high (e.g. sun nearly overhead), the shadow will be short. This will also depend on the angle of the shaded surface.

Does a street sign cast a shadow because light is shining on it at an angle?

An object casts a shadow whenever it is illuminated. It really has nothing to do with the angle. Regardless of the angle, it will cast a shadow. The LENGTH of the shadow it casts, however, is dependent upon the angle at which the light strikes the object. A stop sign will cast a very narrow shadow when the sun is directly overhead, for example, but will cast a very long one at sunrise or sunset.
