The water people turned it off incase of leaks
Water heaters should be turned off, with the gas or electric to them turned off as well, when replacing any hot water lines. This would also be a good time to drain the tank and remove any built up water scale. This makes your heater more efficient.
Check the shut-off valve above it. It may be turned off or plugged up.
The valves arent shutting off and must be replaced.

I believe it would get cold..

You would add coolant (not water) to the vehicle's reservoir when it is off and cooled down. Fill it to the cold line.
There should be no reason the toilet would overflow. The water being turned off should have no effect on it. As long as the drain is clear even if the shut off valve in the tank didn't work, the water will just go down the drain.
To drain the water that is in the pipe or spout..

I would say no, as long as your are not turning it back on after they have turned it off due to non-payment.
It May Be A Good Idea To Turn It Off As Long As It Remains Near Full It Would Be OK. Just Incase Turn It Off. That Way The Top Element Will Not Be In Open Air( Not Covered With Water ). Which Will Cause It To Burn Out. Also When Water Is Turned Back On. Turn On The Hotwater & Let It Run To Remove Any Air That Might Be Trapped In Tank. Then Turn It Back On.
Yes, shut off water to entire residence if residence totally dependent on electric, including heat. If residence heated by hot water or steam heating system, water needs to be ON to boiler for heating system. Anything else that has water going to it can be turned off if it has a separate valve for it. Electric water heater should have power turned off and gas water heater should have gas turned off. Outside hydrant hoses should be disconnected.
Depending where the noise was coming from, but this question is most likely to be answered in this way. If you switched a valve off and the noise was coming before the valve in the pipes, that would indicate a burst pipe.
