shell a solid body of a specific thickness while preserving the part in so that I get two solid bodies connected inside each other

There are 2 methods I can think of off the top of my head...
1) Make a duplicate of your part using the "Move/Copy Bodies" feature without setting any rotation or translation, then using the "Shell" feature to make the thin shell, but remember to set it to "Shell Outwards".
2) Use the "Offset Surface" feature to create a smaller offset of the outer face or your part, then use the "Split" feature to cut your model into 2 parts using that surface.
