Shroud on a permanent only works while that permanent is in the battlefield. So you can target it in the graveyard and it will gain haste, it is as if the card had haste written on it. Lifelink is given as a static ability to your creatures so the Whip is not targeting it, So it also gains that.
Some rules to reference:
604.1. Static abilities do something all the time rather than being activated or triggered. They are written as statements, and they’re simply true.
604.4. Many Auras, Equipment, and Fortifications have static abilities that modify the object they’re attached to, but those abilities don’t target that object. If an Aura, Equipment, or Fortification is moved to a different object, the ability stops applying to the original object and starts modifying the new one.
702.18a Shroud is a static ability. “Shroud” means “This permanent or player can’t be the target of spells or abilities.”
110.1. A permanent is a card or token on the battlefield. A permanent remains on the battlefield indefinitely. A card or token becomes a permanent as it enters the battlefield and it stops being a permanent as it’s moved to another zone by an effect or rule.
