Zod's not going to just deduce that Shaw is absorbing his energy, Zod's only going to see a guy who he can't break and it'll just make Zod angrier and more prone to punching harder and harder.
Besides, Shaw would just absorb all of Zod's upward momentum and they wouldn't fly anywhere, if Zod tried BFR tactics.

Zod isn't just some raging monster ala Hulk. He's a thinker. Once he sees his hits aren't working he'll work something else out.
Can he do that? That's cool

Are you claiming TK is all that is able to sent Hal flying? Into walls and whatnot? We see Zod is more than capable of tossing someone into and even thru walls

My example was that getting thrown into walls hurt Hal. Zod can throw him THRU walls.

He seemed to raging to me in MoS. What will he work out as a win?
Per Shaw's powers, he absorbs all forms of energy.

Perhaps.

Not only does that fail to make any physical sense, but he never does anything like that in the movie.

Only due to his entire species minus himself and Kal being gone. That wouldn't be the case here and even when he was uber pissed he was still a thinking man. A few options were stated earlier like space, toss in the ocean, bury, ect
But not to the point when people actually stop. He'd absorb the energy it took to get to space but he wouldn't be able to do much with it once there, and it took Zod seconds to get to space

He kind of does when Magneto smacks him with those girders and he absorbs their kinetic force.
That's not really similar at all. While I have no doubt he could prevent Zod from uppercutting him, to say he could prevent Zod from flying him upwards... eh.
That's pretty much akin to saying Shaw can resist the force of gravity as the act of falling involves kinetic energy.

Does he need to be? Hal was never a speedy fighter. I know he could travel faster than light but that was never applied in a fight by him. Zod's combat speed is far superior than Hal's so grabbing Hal wouldn't be a problem
