Can a hot water heater siphon to cold water faucet?
A hot water heater is designed to supply hot water to faucets, not cold water. It is not possible for a hot water heater to siphon into a cold water faucet. Each faucet is connected to either the hot or cold water supply lines, which are separate in a plumbing system.
Can hot water bleed into the cold water line through a sing handle shower body?
Yes, it can also cross through a two handled faucet. Both the hot and cold sides of the faucet must be on and the flow of water must be stopped or greatly reduced on the outlet side of the faucet. This can occur when a hose with a spray nozzle is attached to a laundry tub faucet with the faucet on and the spray nozzle off, or when a shower faucet is on but the shower spray head is off. When another cold water outlet in the system is turned on then the pressure on the cold side of the laundry tub or shower faucet in question could be lowered below the pressure on the hot side and hot water can flow into the cold water side. There are faucets which have integral check valves which prevent this from occurring. WWW.WOODBRIDGEPLUMBING.COM
When the water is on hot or cold no water comes out except when the sprayer is opened?
It sounds like there may be a blockage in the water line leading to the faucet. The issue could be due to a clog in the faucet valve or an issue with the diverter that controls water flow between the faucet and the sprayer. It may be necessary to disassemble the faucet to check for and clear any blockages.
Why does your cold water come out very hot at first?
Usually it only does this if you were recently running hot water in a nearby faucet. I've seen this happen when the water heater is in the basement below the fixture in question and no water has been drawn at any fixture for a little while. After about an hour of no use, go down to the heater and feel the cold water line where it enters the heater. Is it warm or hot? How far up the cold water line is it warm? To a tee? Bingo. You need a "heat trap" to keep the heat from rising up the cold line. Repipe the cold line with a flex connector that turns 180 degrees back toward the heater then 90 degrees to horizontal (looks like a question mark).

If water is only drawn from the cold faucet, then no, the water heater is not involved.
