Not sure what you are asking. The control valve on the front where you set the temperature controls the burner. The thermocouple that sits in the pilot flame let the valve open when heater needs to come on. The temperature sensor is in the tank and is on the back side of the control valve. All of these have their part to play in causing the burner to light and shut off.

Can you shut off the cold water intake to hot water tank to stop a leak not in hot water tank?

Yes, but there still is all the water stored in the tank plus the water stored in the existing hot water lines throughout your home that will eventually leak out.If you intend to install a hot water heater (HWH) yourself and you do not have valves to isolate the existing plumbing then turn off your main water supply, drain the water from your home using the lowest level sink, then attach a hose to the bottom of the HWH and drain the tank. When you install the new HWH install new shutoff valves. (Hint: Check with your local city plumbing and see if an expansion tank is required.)
