Need to replace hot water lines. Do you need to turn off the hot water heater if you shut off the main water line?

Yes. I would. If you are replacing the hot water lines, it is also a good time to drain the hot water heater and get rid of all the junk at the bottom of the hot water heater. That should be done once a year. Your hot water heater must be off when you do that, your hot water heater should be off when you drain your hot water heater.

Can you connect PEX to a water heater?

No. Not directly. It needs to be 18 inches away... in length, not distance according to the UPC. An 18 inch water heater flex would work or 18 inches of copper tube with a pex adapter on the end will work.
