Why does hot water turn into ice faster?
Probably because it flows through several feet of uninsulated metal pipe to get from the water heater to the faucet. After you're done using hot water and you shut the faucet, all the hot water in that pipe cools quickly, and then, next time you want some hot water, you have to wait for all of that water in the pipe to come through the faucet, before any hot water from the heater reaches you. The cure: Get some foam pipe wrap from any home-improvement store and wrap it around the hot-water pipes. Then when the pipe is full of hot water, it'll take longer for that water to cool off.
Do you use the water heater when you use just cold water?
If water is only drawn from the cold faucet, then no, the water heater is not involved. However, if water is drawn from the hot faucet- even for a few seconds- hot water IS withdrawn from the heater, and fresh cold water drawn in to be heated- even if the hot water did not make it all the way through the pipe to the faucet- and the water heater will work to heat that fresh cold water.

Yes. It connects to the inside of the tank, where the hot water is. Heat from the hot water will heat the vent pipe by conduction. The top end should be much warmer than the bottom end, near the floor or outlet.
