I think it's an old name, still seems to show up in Russia but the Retinax range has been replaced by the Gadus range in the modern world. You can get single 400g cartridges of Gadus S2 V220 AD 2 at http://www.buckandhickman.com/find/keyword-is-SHELL/product-is-2024227, if you really want to be a perfectionist you could ask them if they can get Gadus S2 V220 AD 1 instead.

It's a high viscosity grease designed for use at very low speeds. It would probably work on a bicycle, but it wouldn't be my first choice as it's likely to be a bit sticky and doesn't have any solid lubricant additives
For the rolling bearings, NLGI grade between 0 and 2 with 1 being my favourite, kinematic viscosity about 200cSt (ISO 150, 220 or 320 will do, again the middle one is my favourite), preferably with some (2-5%) MoS2*, ideally with calcium or lithium/calcium soap rather than pure lithium. I'm still using my decades old tin of Shell Retinax AM, but if it ever runs out I'll be shopping for Retinax HDX1 or Gadus S2 V220 AD 1
*or WS2 when I'm feeling really tarty.
