Yes, they depart often. Multiple trains per hour:

Depends on where you start your day. A day trip from Osaka to Hiroshima and Miyajima is possible, although packed.

Does anyone know, when leaves the last ferry to hiroshima and how often ferries are departing to miyajima?

Access to Miyajima is explained here:
http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3454.html

Most people access Miyajima through Miyajima-guchi, from where ferries of two competing ferry companies depart every few minutes.

The last ferry from Miyajima to Miyajima-guchi departs at 22:14.

and how about shinkansens?

The last shinkansen from Hiroshima to Osaka departs at 21:11, however, it is a nozomi which cannot be used with the Japan Rail Pass. The last hikari leaves at 20:35.

is it possible to use some night train from Hiroshima to Osaka, and JR railwaypass is valid on it?

No.
