I'm planning to come to ocean city but do not feel like driving from nj. what's the closest town on amtrak rail or what town can i fly to and rent a car?
You could take a Greyhound to OC. You probably wouldn't need to rent a car, the bus runs 24 hours at $3 per day.

I would start your search looking at condos. You can narrow your search by bedroom(s), bathroom(s) and location. The condo rental agencies in OC are

Are the Boardwalk and shops open toward the end of October?
Weather permitting, yes you will see several shops still open, specifically on the weekends. Many are remaining open all year on weekends, again weather permitting.
We have been in OC in November, December, February, March and April and been on the beach, boards, and shopping. By the way, great deals!
Don't forget all the great outlet shopping in West OC. Tons of great shops, eateries, and places to visit.
Thank you,
