How can I controll bandwidth(bandwidth shaping)in Bridge mode?

In bridge settings enable use-ip-firewall.

Can I use MikroTik as a bridge and a traffic shaper in one machine?

Yes. You can use all the extensive queue management features. Set the queue to the interface where the traffic is actually leaving the router, when passing through the router. It is not the bridge interface! The queue on the bridge interface is involved only for the traffic generated from the router.

Can I limit bandwidth based on MAC addresses?

For download:

   1. connection-mark all packets from the MAC of each client with different marks
 for each client using action=passthrough:
 /ip firewall mangle add chain=prerouting src-mac-address=11:11:11:11:11:11 \
 action=mark-connection new-connection-mark=host11 passthrough=yes

   2. Remark these packets with flow-mark (again different flow-marks for each connection-marks):
 /ip firewall mangle add chain=prerouting connection-mark=host11 new-packet-mark=host11

   3. We can use these flow-marks in queue trees now.

While this solution should function, it is fundamentally flawed as the first packet of each connection destined to these clients will not be taken into account.
