I think that Meyer made them shapeshifters just for the point of avoiding a fight with the Volturi, so there could be happily ever after. If they had been werewolves, it would have been like boom fighting time, and we couldn't that that, so they were suddenly something new.

Not even Jacob knew they were shapeshifters.

I would guess Edward read their minds about children of the moon, and just jumped to the fact that the pack was different, but still it didn't make sense that he knew they were shapeshifters.
