Are the shield powers (like tech Armor) really adding a shield? Every I use those powers I feel they are just replacing my barries, if they are doing something I would be really greatfull if BW adds those shield strength on HUD.

You can see the added shields from the squad screen.

Tech Armour makes a pretty big difference.

maybe I just never notice it, I normally just see my barriers being restored when I used them, I really would like to see a diferent color bar indicating, so they really add but they get a fusion with suit barrier (shields at 200%?) is that it then?

Yes that's it. Worse actually coz Tech Armor's shield bonus doesn't benefit from shield upgrades; 100% bonus will net 250 points, always. Assault Armor 'only' adds 75% btw. Sentinels can use Barrier, Fortification or GSB for another (max) 250 points.
Is that bad? No it isn't, Tech Armor (Assault Armor in particular) is extremely powerful > spamming it, once shield goes down, will make Sentinels (almost) indestructable. Adding another defense layer (like some enemies have) would be game-breaking. Adding two such layers ...
