Rules questions

Here's some rules questions I have, hopefully you guys can help me out:
1. Multiple instances of Lifelink on a creature will trigger more life gain. However, will each instance of lifelink create a separate instance on the stack? I think it should, but I'm not sure....
2. I've been messing around adding some wall-related cards: Rolling Stones and Wall of Mulch. I added Thallid Shell-Dweller in the previous version, which has defender, but does not have the creature type Wall. So my questions are:
-will Rolling Stones cause it to lose defender?
-can Thallid Shell-Dweller be sacrificed to Wall of Mulch?
