What home heating system heats water and pushes it through pipes?
Typically a baseboard heating system. Consisting of a boiler, pump, piping, and a heat exchanger like aluminum fins.
Can you turn off the water supply to the furnace for a few weeks and still get baseboard heat?
If it is a hot water system and not steam, once it is properly filled & bled of air no more water should be needed unless there is a leak. Regardless of whether it is steam or hot water it is a Boiler not a furnace.
Why is your oil burner off but you still have heat coming from the baseboard?
A baseboard heater runs through a process of induction and release, in a manner of speaking. That is, the burner will heat the water; the water will pump through the system; and once all is up to temperature, the burner will shut down. However, the metal of the pipes and the water itself will not cool right away; it will remain hot for a time and cool slowly. The closer the baseboard is to the furnace itself, the longer it will remain hot.
What is an average temperature for the water running through hot water baseboard heat?

Is half inch water line sufficient for water supply for forced hot water baseboard heat?

Can a water heater be used to supply water to baseboard heating?
Yes. You might want to check to see what recommended temperature is for water entering the baseboard units and insure the water heater will meet that. Something else to consider is that there will need to be a pump in the water circuit to circulate the water. A tank type water heater would also work to store hot water until needed by the baseboard units in an instance where heat might be generated at a time not needed by the baseboard units.
