Say I want to find all tweets that link to a particular blog post, such as this one, and considering that most tweets would actually use URL shorteners, is there a way to find those tweets, taking into account the tweet might contain the original URL or any of the shortened URLs?

Blackbird Pie (now defunct) used to do exactly what you are looking for: simply paste the URL of any tweet into the form on that page and it will generate static HTML that you can embed into your blog.
You can now embed directly via the Twitter UI by clicking "Embed this Tweet"
There is additionally a Wordpress specific plugin as well as a Google Chrome extension for using Blackbird Pie.
The only way that I know to get around it is to shorten the URL yourself BEFORE you try to post an update via the web.
That is the process I do.
