Would a laptop be shorted out if you plugged an incorrect AC adapter into the power port and it made a pop sound?

The motherboard or the port at least, would be blown. If you have battery power, and you get some power up, like the LCD screen or a fan turning, the motherboard is probably still viable. If you have an extra battery or can get a loan, this would help you diagnose the problem. There is a good chance that your hard drive is still viable. It is possible, if the power port let the charge into the unit, that everything is fried. Alternativly, the power port may have popped and stopped the surge of power. This can be replaced in theory, by someone with a good hand.

How do you Verify DC power in laptop?
Every laptop is different. If you unplug your AC power adapter from the laptop and it start it up, then your battery is doing the work. If you want to check the opposite, remove the battery and make sure the AC power adapter is plugged in properly and start it up. If your laptop starts up from one form of power but not the other, either your connection is bad or the hardware itself (ex. battery or AC power adapter) is faulty.
If you left laptop plugged into the main all the time would it affect the battery in any way?
i think you mean that let the laptop work with laptop adapter and the battery. well, i suggest that you should work with the laptop adapter for the most time, cause when the laptop battery is full charged, the adapter won't stop it's wrok and keep charging the battery, that means the battery has to discharge(supply the power) and be charged at the same time. unfortunately, this condition may decrease the life of most lithium basic batteries. so, keep the laptop working with the adapter for the most long time.

Does it matter if you leave your laptop overnight if it is plugged into a household wall socket?
I have done this before and nothing bad happened but I would not suggest doing it on a regular basis. Be aware that the adapter for the laptop will get very hot when it is plugged into the socket for long amounts of time. Another problem could be that not only the adapter overheats but other componants in your laptop may also begin to heat which could cause the mother board to not work or any other important componant that is important in the running of the computer may litterally melt down and stop working. In conclusion, if you have accidently left your laptop plugged in overnight, do not worry yourself too much just get there asap to unplug it. DO NOT regularly leave your laptop charging overnight!
