Can I use this plugins without multisite
No, It does’t make sense to use this plugins without multisite.
I’m trying to run a shortcode in a context of another site and it’s not working.
As switch_to_blog does not switch plugins or theme, you need the code for shortcode running on the site that you are EXECUTING THE WIDGET. If the shortcode is provided by a plugin, just activate the plugin on the site which you want to run the widget.
