More information needed. Are we talking fixtures, supply piping, drain piping? Pipes in a slab floor, crawl space, basement? What kind of pipe galvanized, brass, copper, cast iron, pvc, polybutylene, pex, abs? Other than that simply said rip the old pipes out and put new ones in. In your case the lack of information implies that you have not much of an idea in what is entailed and I would recommend calling a licensed plumber.

Can you shut off the cold water intake to hot water tank to stop a leak not in hot water tank?
Yes, but there still is all the water stored in the tank plus the water stored in the existing hot water lines throughout your home that will eventually leak out.If you intend to install a hot water heater (HWH) yourself and you do not have valves to isolate the existing plumbing then turn off your main water supply, drain the water from your home using the lowest level sink, then attach a hose to the bottom of the HWH and drain the tank. When you install the new HWH install new shutoff valves. (Hint: Check with your local city plumbing and see if an expansion tank is required.)

You want to install shower in the basement tying into the main drain for the house should there be some kind of backflow preventer installed between the shower trap and the main line to prevent backup?
If the existing sewer line is lower than basement grade (does it go into the basement floor and out of the house?) you can just connect in to the existing drain. By code, sewer lines must have a slope of 1/4 inch per running foot, meaning that raw sewage will run AWAY from the main plumbing stack of the house. If the sewer line is ABOVE the level of the basement plumbing fixtures, you will need to purchase and install a pump check-valve, and tank to install any plumbing below the house sewer line. If you have any questions, contact a licensed plumber to find out the needs of your home.
