No as the circuit is broken so no electricity can flow through the ciircuit

Most small appliances these days have switches on them. The voltage potential is at the kettle but stops at the switch. As soon as the switch is turned on, the circuit is completed and the appliance operated.
In the UK there is a switch combined with the receptacle. This switch is used to disconnect the voltage output to any device that is plugged into the outlet.

How do you fix a kettle that makes the boiled water taste bad?
Perhaps you can try descaling your kettle. You can either purchase a descaler or put 1/3 white vinegar + 2/3 water in the kettle and boil that. Leave the solution in the kettle overnight after boiling. The next day, dump out the vinegar solution and boil with just water. Leave that overnight and rinse out the kettle and you can use the kettle for making hot beverages now.

No , it is just a heating element similar to an electric kettle ( as long as it is plugged in and the power is flowing the block heater is still " on " ) You can use a timer or some other method to cut down on your electrical use if you like , as far as I know a well maintained vehicle doesn't gain anything after the block heater is plugged in for 3 or 4 hours , although you can leave it plugged in longer if you want
