Could be a number of things, but I would certainly refrain from taking it up to 90+ MPH until you figure it out.
The whine could be something as simple as the alt. bearing. The shaking at 90 is more than likely something totally different like a wheel out of balance or a bad U-joint.

Whining could be belt related or something in the alt or p/s area.
90 mph + problem sounds like a balace issued somewhere in the driveline, (wheel balance or possible shaft prob)

At any rate I'd say it's two separate issues.
