I've managed to get Node and NPM installed on my shared hosting account with Namecheap by following this answer. It all seems to be working, I can launch my app and it stays launched, but the subdomain which points to app's root route just shows up the folder of the domain.

I've tried going to myaddress.com/subdomain:8080 but I get a server error plus a 404. I've also tried changing Node's listening port from 8080 to 80, but on 80 I get an error: 

Error: listen EACCES 0.0.0.0:80

So that means I don't have rights to port 80. How can I get clients to connect port 8080?

This is the part that shared hosting has a problem with, they wont open any ports for you. This is exactly where your workaround needs to be centered. Im currently looking for solutions to either use php to serve a node see here https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-php-server and here How to host a Node.Js application in shared hosting or just configuring express to use somehow port 80.

These would be your best options.
