I have to track clicks on shortened URLs (to external resources that are not my) in a social network posts. Is it possible to integrate Google URL shortener statistics into Google Analitics to get all in one place reports?

I have no clue where is this coming from. Any idea?

You don't need to have social accounts to get traffic from those sources.
This could be anything from someone linking to your site from their own Instagram account to a bot hiding behind an Instagram referrer. Use other reports and dimensions to find some context to that info (such as Hostname, Landing Page, Bounce Rate) and/or even a segment to determine what else the user did.
It may not illuminate much since there was only 1 acquisition from Instagram (especially if they bounced).
I'm having issues with tracking the UTM parameters in Google Analytics on an iframe.
My website is embedded in an iframe on http://www.blokker.be/inuwkot and http://www.blokker.be/danstonkot. The visitors go straight to the two links (either dutch or french). No visitors go straight to my own domain.
In the overview page form analytics I can view the amount of visitors/views but not the UTM parameters. I can only see it's a referal.
Any ideas on how to get the UTM url's working in the iframe so I can see where my visitors come from?
Since your frame content is located on a different domain you can not track url parameters from the hosting page without support from the domain owners - they would either have to append the parameters to the frame url, or send a message using the postMessage interface which allows cross-domain communication between pages and embedded frames.
So the page has to send the information to the frame, you cannot simply access it (for security reasons). If the owners of the blokker.be domain do not support that then you are out of luck.
Is there any way to determine how many users visited my site via ads of my site posted on other websites?
By default these will show up as referrals in the channel and all traffic reports. To get more granularity you'd have to use campaign parameters in your ads url. You can create properly tagged url via Googles url builder which has some documentation on the various parameters.
How can I output a list of i.e. top 20 subdomains from my google analytics account in my website sidebar?

I don't know how much functionality the Google Analytics Management Api provides but it seems like you can extract some data on your accounts ...
