Likely one of the two electric elements is going out which creates very high resistance in the circuit and therefore draws very high current (amps) and causes the breaker to trip.
Only if you leave the burners or elements on. -If water stops, close gas line or switch off breaker for tank.
Gas heater & electric heater both are available.
Because hot water heater breaker has tripped, or hot water heater has failed.

Yes
There is no way of telling from here. It will be a double breaker, most boxes will have 3 doubles. One for the stove, one for the AC and one for the water heater. Process of elimination should tell you which is for the heater.
