Some garments won't shrink at all, while others will shrink dramatically. It all depends on the material. Something like cotton will shrink about 20% when you wash and dry it for the first time, while wool can shrink from an XL to an infant or medium depending on the specific garment. Synthetic fibers may not shrink at all, or only just a little bit.

Can you heat shrink wires?

Definitely! Just make sure that the tubing is slightly larger than the diameter of the wiring so it can easily slip on and shrink tight enough when heated.
