You will get some back pressure from the water heater. It will come out of either the hot or cold. Shut the tank off if there is a shut off there.
After turning off the main valve, it typically takes a few minutes for water to stop flowing completely. The time can vary depending on the size of the plumbing system and the water pressure.
The shower is turned off but the water is still running because there may be a leak in the faucet or showerhead, causing water to continue flowing even when the shower is not in use.
You need to turn it off at the base of the sink. Or depending on the problem you may need to turn it off at the water main valve.
This is just a guess. If only the hot or the cold stops and not both of them, it might be that the washer in the shut off valve has come off and is plugging the line. When you shut off the main and then open another faucet, the back pressure in the line pushes the washer out. If this is the case, the washer should still be in the shut off valve. Turn off the main and take the stem out of the faucet. The washer should be the valve.
