Should supply line coming out of hot water tank have a drop down leg in it to keep the tank from losing heat out the pipes?
No this is not necessary. Install the pipes as per usual. You can insulate the hot water pipes up to two meters or up to two yards from the hot water outlet from the hot water tank to prevent this.

Can you shut off the cold water intake to hot water tank to stop a leak not in hot water tank?
Yes, but there still is all the water stored in the tank plus the water stored in the existing hot water lines throughout your home that will eventually leak out.If you intend to install a hot water heater (HWH) yourself and you do not have valves to isolate the existing plumbing then turn off your main water supply, drain the water from your home using the lowest level sink, then attach a hose to the bottom of the HWH and drain the tank. When you install the new HWH install new shutoff valves. (Hint: Check with your local city plumbing and see if an expansion tank is required.)

Can you shut off the inflow valve to hot water heater for a day without harming system if so should pressure valve be left open and limited usage of hot water?
If you have a leak on the hot water somewhere in the house and the water input into the tank is not running, the tank will lose it's water. And if it is an electric tank, the elements will burn out. Gas hot water tank should be no problem. Pressure valve does not have to be open.
How can you get hot water faster at all the bath room it take long time to get hot?
You could install a recirculating pump near your hot water tank and run a pipe from the furthest fixture that has hot water to this pump. This pump would then circulate the hot water back into the COLD inlet of the hot water tank and have hot water available at each fixture when you want. You would require a check valve where the recirculated water enters the cold supply to your hot water tank. CALL A PLUMBER THAT HAS FREE ESTIMATES!!!
