Will a glow "shine on objects," or create diffuse reflectance?
Will glows cast shadows?

short answer: no

long answer: 
You can create some effects in that direction using radiosity (glows are
influencing it like objects with ambient finish) and you can also combine glows
and light sources which can lead to good results.
