I am using the DWithin as above. Just had couple of questions:

1) As I went through some forum posts it seems like it uses the units that
is used in the shapefiles. Is that correct?

2) Can I change the units to be anything I want, like meters, etc? If so how
do I request it?

The Distance element has an attribute of "units", which is of anyURI, for this.

<Distance units="your unit goes here">5</Distance>

However, as I understand it, units are ignored.

That's correct.
