The heater should be turned on by a regulating thermostat that keeps water temperature at the desired temperature for your species of fish, usually 72 - 80° F. Many heaters used by aquarium hobbyists contain one or more thermostats that can regulate temperature at a setting.
A thermometer can be left on all the time if you are refering to a digital version because it only measures the temperature and does not affect water.
So you can make sure the fish has a suitable temperature
Yes it is important to have a thermometer in your fish tank. The temperature of the water should be between 75-80 degrees.
Take the fish out, put it in a tempory tank. Go to the shops, buy a new one then come back and fit it. Answer 1 is not incorrect, but failed to mention that the tank in which the thermometer broke, and from which the fish were removed, should have the contaminated water discarded, and the tank and all accessories which were exposed to the thermometer contents, thoroughly cleaned and decontaminated BEFORE RETURNING the fish to that tank. j3h

With the gravel, and the filter, and your ornaments/plants ready in it, you need to leave it for 1-2 weeks. (depending how desperate you are) You should not buy your fish unless you have had it ready for 1-2 weeks!
