Sure, they're both free reed instruments, but that's just a classification based on technically how they make sound. It would be like saying a violin (pizzicato) and harp are the same thing. The sheng doesn't have the position, or blocking holes with your tongue or lips; the harmonica doesn't have fingering. On the positive side, learning breath support will help with any wind instrument, but they're probably not really any closer than a horn and a woodwind. LTC puts the Bagpipe default at -6, so that seems about right.

A point in Piano and another in Single Reed (isn't that what covers the saxophone?)?

That's correct. Sounds reasonable to me. (Lots of musicians, especially composers, directors, and teachers, will pick up a bit of a lot of different instruments, so it wouldn't really be bizarre to have some skill in several.)
