Since I am not very familiar with the 'Don't Starve' game I got a little problem with usage of shadow creatures which Maxwell bring to life.
As I am playing Maxwell I do not know how can I use my puppets. As I saw the puppet with axe, chops the trees automatically. But if I create the man with the sword how can I attack some creatures? Another question is how can I use the man with the shovel? As I saw he only dig the trees but can I control him somehow to dig the sappling, bushes etc.?
After some days I realized that the puppets are dying. They got some time to stay in the world or what? How long can I use them before they will dissapear?

What you're referring to is the Codex Umbra. The article explains it in great detail, but to answer your questions:
The man with the sword (Shadow Duelist) will either defend you if attacked or will attack whatever you attack (note: like with Pigs or Bunnies, you don't need to actually attack - you can just click to attack and then stop).
The man with the shovel (Shadow Digger) will only dig graves and stumps.
The shadows will disappear 2.5 days after you summon them.
