SSL admin is only HTTPS on 1st page

I have my site's shared SSL certificate "working" for the admin section. The first page will appear as "https" but after i click a link in admin... the address bar displays as if i isn't secure. Is it?

That is normal. At the present time, the admin secures the login page only.
The rest will be secured during the admin rewrite phase several version releases from now. You can see the schedule on the roadmap pasted at the top of the forum listing.

In the admin config file, there's an option for HTTP_SERVER and HTTPS_SERVER, where HTTP SERVER has an http:// url, if you change that to https:// then you'll be under SSL for every single page.

if I put the admin folder under my web host's "ssh" section, is it all safe even though it doesn't say https?

No.

SSH and SSL are completely different things.
