Is SHA 2 suitable for key derivation?
In principle raw SHA2 is suitable for deriving an AES key from a DH shared secret.
But the "proper" solution is to use a KDF. My preferred choice is HKDF, which can use SHA256 as the underlying hash …

A simple block cipher based on the SHA-256 hash function
First of all, this no block-cipher at all. It's a stream-cipher. Thus you can use every key only once, and you can't use any cipher modes built on block-ciphers.
Your scheme is vulnerable to a known …
