Animate it's position or it's shape?
For it's position simply tie the mask's layer position to the tracker's keyframes.
Then use anchor point to bring the mask at the position you want.

For the shape you have to go manually frame by frame.

Yep, no way to track mask points in AE, something people have been screaming about for a long time now. You can also put the track data on a null and parent it to that. You can animate mult. masks this way to the tracking data by using offset expressions, etc..

stabilaze the shot, and then mask it.

Shake allows this function that you speak of, but it costs alot, and requires a mac, (or some linux know-how).

Actually, the Mac version is only $500 now, but Linux is still expensive.
