The Shadow attack on Kosh was Not a surprise.
Kosh knew they would be coming. He told Sheridan as much.
Sheridan just didn't Understand when Kosh said it.
And, as far as the Shadows bumping into people while walking around, at the level of Telepathy they are capable of, they could push Hundreds of people out of the way and None of them would ever remember.
The most likely explanation is that people who find themselves in the Shadow's way keep getting sudden impulses to stand up against the wall.
Morden would need to be under constant surveilance to detect such a thing. And the Shadows would probably notice the Surveilance cameras and fudge Them too.
Notice that, even when Morden and Londo meet in a Crowded area like the Zocalo, they seem to have an empty space all around them.
People just don't sit at the tables close to them, even though the place is Crowded. Shadows playing with people's minds, making them "not like" those tables. Or not notice that they are empty.
Sheridan only spotted the Shadows with Morden by scanning light frequencies the cameras didn't normally use.
Considering all the things that went on, I'd bet that, at some point, Sheridan told Londo how to locate the Shadows.
Which would explain just How Londo's Guards were able to know where to shoot.
Arrogance and the element of surprise were the two things that Killed those Shadows. Their Energy forms are probably almost unkillable, but they were using their real Bodies to avoid setting off all the alarms in the palace.
It's a good bet that either Vorlon or Shadow in full Energy state would set off all sorts of energy detectors.
Ulkesh was already suspicious when the shooting started. Plus, he had all the defenses of his Encounter Suit to start with.
By the time he was Out of the suit, he'd shifted from an easily killed Body to his Energy form.
That's how the Shadows were able to kill Kosh in his room. He stayed in his body for the fight because he didn't want an Energy battle to destroy the station and kill all the innocents.
