you obviously have no clue what you are doing, so what advice are you asking for? you expect someone to give you a complete run down on how to wire a sub panel?

240v comes into your house in a two phase configuration
your main panel is split into two separate rails, one phase per rail
to get 240v, you need a (big) breaker that touches both rails
to get 120v, you need a (small) breaker that only touches one rail

yes, you can have a sub panel that has both a 240v breaker and some 120v breakers. you need a run of 3 wire (+ground) from the main panel to your shop, off of a properly sized breaker for the wire and a properly sized sub panel
