The most likely reason would be because you also have the defroster turned on with your heater. The defroster causes the A/C compressor to kick on which helps remove extra moisture in the air keeping your windows from fogging. The A/C compressor is linked to a "kick up" that brings the RPMs up to keep your engine from stalling due to the extra load possibly causing a surge.

Yes, an electricity surge can potentially turn on a light, especially if the surge causes a sudden influx of electricity that trips the circuit and powers the light. However, this can also pose a risk to the lightbulb and the electrical system, potentially causing damage. It is advisable to use surge protectors to prevent surges from damaging electronic devices.
You probably have a dirty carburetor causing that surge.
The heat for the interior of your car comes from the heated radiator coolant. When you are driving down the road the water pump circulates the heated engine coolant. If the engine slows and the water pump isn't real efficient you might get cooling in the heater. When you turn off the engine you aren't getting warm water pumped into the heater.
