This itinerary to PVG is $1880, but just a night in Shanghai. Still enough time to head into town, stay a night, explore the underground market near the science museum (or walk along the Bund), then head back to PVG.
I don't know what time the last train is from BWI into DC; you may need to taxi or Uber.
