VCC is not common voltage. It literally means "Voltage Collector Collector" and was used for describing positive supply of logic/digital ICs. Modern digital ICs no longer use BJT transistors but MOSFETs so it became VDD (Voltage Drain Drain) but VCC is still commonly used along with latter. Naming 18V supply as VCC is counterproductive, especially if other people will see your circuits.

Sorry I don't know that :(.so I will rename 18V as +18V and 5V as VCC :D

The nice thing about the current sense amp(LT6105) is that its common mode input voltage can be higher
than its supply voltage. :-+

Right I decided to use a 100m \$\Omega\$ 25W 1% current shunt. :D

That is the whole point of using a current sensing amp like I was trying to explain. While they are opamps they are specifically designed to do this will do what a regular opamp will not.
