How often should you replace the shower valve?
Though not a plumber, I can say that shower valves are usually made of brass(a very good material). Therefore they are also expensive to replace (50 dollars for the valve, 150 dollars per shower valve if done by a competent plumber). Therefore, when you notice a leak coming from your shower, try to replace the seat washer (usually the hot water side needs to be replaced first). If you still have a leak, it's time to replace the shower valve.

Should water of any amount be in the sump pump and would it have anything to do with my kitchen pipes being blocked.?
If you have any water at all coming into the sump, there will always be a little in the bottom unless it stays dry long enough for it to evaporate. The design of the pump doesn't let it pump the last little bit out. If there is not a check valve in the discharge pipe, what is left it the pipe going out will drain back into the sump. If the discharge pipe is connected to the house drain and there was not a check valve in that pipe, depending on where the kitchen clog is, the sink could drain into the sump.
Installation of the drain pipe for the temperature and pressure relief valve?
It is the drain for the Temperature and Pressure relief valve (T&P valve, or TPV). It's function is to release pressure from the water heater if the pressure or temperature of the water exceeds preset limits. Do not cap off the pipe, or remove the T&P valve or alter it in any way. Doing so could cause serious injury or death! If you notice water dripping or running from the pipe, call a plumber to check it.
