Shepard's story is over. The endings made that clear. Plus the endings left the galaxy in one of three very different states. This is why they are leaving the Milky Way galaxy for Andromeda, to avoid making one of the endings canon.

As far as I know, no info on save imports has been revealed, but I don't visit the official forums anymore so I'm a bit out of the loop.

A common fan theory is that the exodus to Andromeda begins before the ending of Mass Effect 3, which means the ME3 endings won't have any effect on Mass Effect Andromeda. Other choices may have some minor impact, but as far as I'm aware, ME:A will have no returning characters.
