I can't think of a way to trigger something like this when doing a send-to-device. You would need to modify or create a plugin to do this.

Preferred, could I make this function look at the percentage read column and if non-nul, add it to 'to reading'

And if you create/change the plugin, this should be easy.

Optimal, the function looks at #genre (or another custom column) and also adds books to shelves based on that column, adding shelves if necessary?

The plugin can already create shelves from a column. Just set the "tags" column in the actions that use the tags will use that column. It isn't automatic, but acts on the selected books.
