If I store semi-hard (Swiss type) cheese in an air-tight container and store in refrigerator, is ok, or not recommended, to remove the shrink wrap that it was in when bought? (the shrink wrap is badly torn anyway)

Plastic wrap or even foil is better...less air...but even a lidded contrainer or ziplock baggie is better than nothing.
That article says to store cheese in the vegetable drawer, i.e. the lowest level of refrigerator. I always put it on the top level, just below the freezer. I figure the colder (but not in freezer) it is kept, the less likely it will get mold. Right or wrong?

Cold is good. There's no reason to put it in a warmer part of the refrigerator.
I wrap my cheese in paper and store it in the deli drawer. No mold, but cheese doesn't last long around here. I avoid plastic in the kitchen, especially plastic wrap.
The bottom drawer suggestion is because most cheese tastes/textures best at room temp. My European ex was scandalized at the thought of putting any cheese in the fridge
