Is it okay to have two p traps in a 2 inch shower drain line i am unsure if p trap is under the slab and have a 2 inch PVC pipe stubbed out of cement.?
If you have an existing shower with a 2" line 'stubbed out of cement', it more than likely has a P-trap underground. An easy way to tell is to get a flashlight and look down the pipe; if you can see water standing in the pipe, there is a p-trap. No water, no trap. Double trapping a fixture is not recommended.

Should there be water in the stink pipe?
stink pipe? any fixture connected to any drain line in your home should be sealed off from any sewer smell from a trap, and yes if you have a trap it should have water in it. If its a floor drain that isn't used much I recommend you pour a little bit of vegetable oil down it after you pour water and that seems to correct a trap going dry for a long time.

Why is there a possiblity of a water pipe breaking if the pipe is left full of water during extended frigid weather?
When water freezes, it expands. This is explained by the observation that ice floats on water, and that when snow is melted the liquid that remains takes up less space than the original amount of snow. This is due to the chemical interaction between water molecules. Water is polar and as the particles become closer in organization, the bonds which hold the individual hydrogen and oxygen particles together actually push the other particles away before freezing. Thus the amount of water which is in the pipe, if not moving, can increase in size and cause the pipe to break.
