My question is, if on one turn, I cast shadow blade as a bonus action, then attack with it, on the next turn, can I make an attack with it as my main action, then throw it with my bonus action?
I guess to simplify, since it is the same as a dagger essentially, if I was wielding a dagger in one hand, could I attack with it as an action then throw it as my bonus action?

No. If you want to attack with your Bonus action then you need to have a feature that allows you to do that. Two-weapon fighting for example does but that requires you to wield two weapons and use one for each attack. Other features exists that also allows BA attacks that might have other requirements. But without such a feature then you cannot attack with your Bonus action (BA).
In fact that goes for using your BA in general. You need to have a specific feature that lets you do something with your BA otherwise you cannot use your BA at all.
