You will get some back pressure from the water heater. It will come out of either the hot or cold. Shut the tank off if there is a shut off there.

How do you stop the water from flowing in an upstairs bathroom when the hot and cold knobs are turned off?
You need to turn it off at the base of the sink. Or depending on the problem you may need to turn it off at the water main valve.
What could the the cause of water to quit flowing to washer machine it is not the inlet screens or the washer only way to get water back is to turn off at main then turn on a faucet?
This is just a guess. If only the hot or the cold stops and not both of them, it might be that the washer in the shut off valve has come off and is plugging the line. When you shut off the main and then open another faucet, the back pressure in the line pushes the washer out. If this is the case, the washer should still be in the shut off valve. Turn off the main and take the stem out of the faucet. The washer should be the valve.
What does downstream from the valve mean in plumbing?
from the valve past, fowing in the direction of the liquid or gas. example: water supply coming from the street to your house, enters your house where your main water shut off is. then the water is distributed through your house to different fixtures. downstream of your main shut off would be everything past that valve in the direction the water is flowing, or all water lines IN your house.

Showers and tubs do not usually have shut off valves on the supply lines. To shut the water off you will have to shut off the main water line.

There will be one in the main line coming into the house on the basement wall closest to the street or at the water meter.

Where does the electricity go when the power is off?
Electricity is the flow of electrons through a conductor, such as a wire. When the power is off, the electrons are still there, they just have nothing to push then around. Think of the water pipes in your house. If you go outside and shut off the water, the water stops flowing. There is still water in the pipes, but if you turn on a faucet, no water will flow out. In a wire, the electrons are trapped in the atoms that make up the wire unless a potential difference, or voltage, exists to make them move. This voltage comes from the power generating station.

What is the vibration sound in your pipes after you run water?
When your faucets are off, the water is sitting still. As soon as you open a faucet, water starts flowing out due to the pressure created by your water pump. Whenever you turn the water faucet off, the water supply is cut at the spigot and now all that water that was moving has now stopped, suddenly. Sometimes, when the pressure is too high, it can cause what is called water hammer. Water hammer is when a faucet is turned off, a shockwave is sent through the pipes, vibrating them sometimes throughout the entire house.
