If I have Apprentice Shinobi in the discard pile, does it get force bonuses from Ninja Actions? (Assuming that I can return it to play via Obfuscation).

No.
Implications of in and out of play: Cards that are not in play or in a resolution, entering-play or focusing area have the following limitations: * Abilities on them may not be used, and triggered traits on them are not triggered.
