Depending on the construction of your house, you may actually be hearing the water making its way down the drain line. I can hear it in my house sometimes. You may hear it while you're making your "contribution" because as water is added to the bowl, an equal amount is flowing over the trap and down the drain. The same happens after a flush, while the tank is filling. A certain amount of water is being diverted into the bowl to refill it, and once it's full, the excess dribbles down the drain. You're problably hearing it hit the elbow where the pipe goes from vertical to horizontal. Another answer to the problem is that the water from the tank is leaking through the flapper and the flapper needs to be replaced. If you replace the flapper then you need to have a peice of course Wet or dry sandpaper to smooth out the hole that the flapper closes over.

Usually not. If toilet has a mixing valve going to it so warm water fills toilet tank and toilet runs constantly, then enough warm water could leak out through toilet to possibly have an effect on water heater.

If we closed off water to repair running toilet and temperatures outside dropped and now water will not flow and fill toilet tank are the pipes frozen?
If it is just the toilet that doesn't have water, then the pipes are probably not frozen. If it is the whole house than maybe yes. If you have water at other faucets, look at the toilet and see where the blockage is. Disconnect the supply line under the tank and see if water is coming through the shut off at the toilet if there is one.
