How do I turn off a baseboard heater when there is no visible thermostat?

There is a thermostat somewhere, usually on the wall or on the heater itself. Just turn the breaker off at the breaker box. Label the breaker if it is not already labeled. Once the power is turned off to the unit, you can disconnect the wires inside the heater to permanantly shut down the unit.

If there is power to the off switch for the heater is the switch gone?

If you are talking about a wall switch for the heater, check to see if the heater has its own internal thermostat or switch as this might be in the off position and not allow the heater to turn on. If you are talking about a switch on the heater itself, then yes in all probability the switch is not working.

Is there a switch available to control power to a thermostat for 20A 240V electric baseboard heater?

There are two types of thermostats. One is a line voltage stat. This is in effect a switch and when turned to the off position the voltage is interrupted and the heater will not operate. The other type of stat is low voltage. There will be a relay in the baseboard heater that the thermostat is connected to. With this type if installation to turn the power completely off you will have to turn the breaker off that feeds the circuit.
