Why no water going into hot water heater?
Check the shut-off valve above it. It may be turned off or plugged up.
If the water is turned off at water meter will hot water tank burn up?
Not normally - without the water flowing from the meter, water cannot be consumed within the home, so the level inside the water heater will remain as it was before the water meter was turned off. It is common sense to remove power or shut off the gas to the water heater when another utility is shut down.
Should you shut off your water when on vacationduring the winter months?
Yes, shut off water to entire residence if residence totally dependent on electric, including heat. If residence heated by hot water or steam heating system, water needs to be ON to boiler for heating system.

Outside hydrant hoses should be disconnected.

What do you do with a gas hot water tank when there is no water?
Shut the tank down, so that it does not fire up. Was you water shut off,due to unpaid bill. Is there a break in the water line feed to the house.

Why does the hot water tap spluter when it is turned on?
It sounds like air is in the water heater. It happens when your city water is shut down for repair sometimes and you get air in your pipes when the water flow is continued. You didn't open the valve enough or you may not have an air trap pipe.
