Yes, replace the "forumhome_vbshout_shout" template with this code:

<tr>
				<td width="1%" style="white-space:nowrap" align="left" valign="top" class="smallfont">
					[{$Shout['time']}]
					<if condition="!$Shout[s_me]">
						<if condition="$Shout[s_by]">
							<a href='member.php?{$session['sessionurl_q']}u={$Shout['s_by']}'>
						</if>{$Shout['username']}<if condition="$Shout[s_by]"></a></if>:
					</if>
				</td>
				<td width="100%" align="left" class="smallfont">
					<if condition="!$Shout[s_me]">
						{$Shout['s_shout']}
					<else />
						<span class='highlight'>
							*{$Shout['username']} {$Shout['s_shout']}*
						</span>
					</if>
				</td>
			</tr>

(I added class="smallfont" to the td tags)

Yep, that's also possible:
Open the template "forumhome_vbshout" and find this code:

			<td class="tcat" align="center">
				<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_vbshout')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_vbshout" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_vbshout].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>

and replace it by:

			<td class="tcat" align="left">
				<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_vbshout')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_vbshout" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_vbshout].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
