Yes they can go bad but are relatively easy to replace.
There shouldn't be just water in the expansion tank. If the coolant (50% anti-freeze and water) appears to be boiling in the expansion tank, you may have a bad head gasket or cracked head.
Water worker sounds like one of those Big Box brands. Chances are it's bad and needs replacing.
A bad smell coming from a water heater can be caused by bacteria growth in the tank, sediment buildup, or a reaction between the anode rod and the water. To resolve this issue, you can try flushing the tank, cleaning the tank with a hydrogen peroxide solution, or replacing the anode rod.
A malfunctioning thermostat, sediment buildup in the tank, or a lack of proper maintenance can cause a water heater to overheat. When the water in the tank exceeds the set temperature, it can lead to the water heater overheating.

If the bladder is bad in your expansion tank the tank will fill with water. When this happens the pressure in your furnace will exceed 30lbs and your pressure relief valve will blow off.
Symptoms of a bad water heater element include insufficient hot water, fluctuating water temperature, strange noises coming from the water heater, and discolored or foul-smelling water.
Yes, because as the water heats it expands. The water system will then spill over to the expansion tank. The expansion tank is only big enough to store expanded water at the thermostat temperature. When your thermostat doesn't open the water will over heat/ over expand. You will see brownish burnt water marks all over the expansion tank near the overflow hole. Best off just throw away your thermostat you don't really need it.
Shut the tank down, so that it does not fire up. Was you water shut off,due to unpaid bill. Is there a break in the water line feed to the house. Did the check valve break, did someone shut off a valve to the heater. For what ever reason, if there is no water flow to the heater, it must be turned off.
Yes i would say, i can have a 30 min shower of hot water, it also depends on the size of your hot water tank.
You can determine if a water heater is bad by checking for signs such as no hot water, strange noises, leaks, or rust-colored water. Additionally, if the water heater is old or has not been maintained regularly, it may be time for a replacement.
