My mom (the one who’d read the trilogy to me) explained that while Shelob is in the two towers book, chronologically this was happening at the same time as events in return of the king. She also brought up the first movie, where Boromir’s death was included despite it technically being the first chapter (iirc) of two towers.

One of my favorite parts of the story, so many things come together in just a few pages. The Valaquenta says that Manwe, when Varda is beside him, despite all darkness can see everywhere in Arda, and Varda, when with Manwe, can hear all that passes. So there is no doubt that Manwe knew where they were and that Varda heard Sam sing out for her protection. Then Varda, Tintalle that she is, caused the Phial to blaze forth its brilliance, giving Sam a weapon --- the light of the Trees Ungoliant destroyed --- that enabled him to defeat Ungoliant's offspring Shelob. Sam unknowingly saw this just a day or so earlier, realizing they were carrying some of the same light that Beren and Luthien rescued from Angband. A continuation of the same story.

My theory with beings like Ungoliant, Tom Bombadil, and Goldberry is that they are Maiar (or something similar) who kind of just chose not to follow the song of Eru. They were created, then were like "nah I'm good" and did their own thing. I think this is best exemplified by the fact that Tom Bombadil's appearance does not change when he puts the ring on. If the ring basically transforms you into your spectral/spirtual form (which is why you become invisible to most if you never beheld the light of the trees), Tom is just... Tom. A pure spirit, if you will. Ungoliant and Shelob are probably the same. Rogue angels, if you will. Some are good, some are bad. edit: Goldberry, not Merrygold.

The same way Frodo's Morgul wound would never really heal, Shelob's wound would never heal since she was stabbed with an elvish blade. Frodo had the benefit of lord Elrond's healing hands so at least the damage done to him was lessened to a great extent; but for Shelob there would be no such healer. Its possible that with her weakened state and evil being finally cast out of Mordor forever, that she either died of the wound or starved to death.

Instead no one (not even Sauron) really knows their origin and it is pretty clesr that Ungoliant and the Nameless Things are not created by Melkor (he cannot create from scatch sentient beings with individual will of their own)

I think you’re absolutely right his love made him just as much a great warrior as the times of old. To be honest I don’t think Shelob died after the battle but I believe she was greatly hurt by the fight, so much so that it may well have been years before she was able enough to go hunting again. And considering the orcs were driven out of Mordor, and men (for the moment) were too afraid to live in Morgal vale, I believe it’s probable she slowly began to starve and become much weaker with lack of food. Maybe she would have to leave to find better hunting grounds or maybe she would just have to wither away away to the point where physically she would no longer be a danger to anyone, or maybe she did find food and slowly began to grow in strength again until the men have Gondor would one day drive her out.I don’t know.

Vile creatures like Shelob always feel incredibly hard to kill. It wouldn't have surprised me if he'd lived long enough we found Shelob survived. She likely would have haunted the mountains hunting for orcs. If Gondor eventually returned to Cirith Ungol to serve as a border post and she was still in the locality they would have to deal with her. Whether that be by destroying Shelob or driving her out of her lair and into Mordor proper we shall never know. Using fire to drive her out makes most sense to me.
