So the steam can rise from the boiler to the hot water tank storage
If the boiler is feeding the tank as a storage tank then you need a good quality TEMPERING valve and a 27" heat sink loop. If the tank is a stand alone appliance for domestic hot water have the Aqua-stat checked
A boiler functions by boiling water to a steam, which rises upwards. Keeping the hot water tank above the boiler helps keep the hot water hot, as well as allowing the steam to carry itself to the tank, instead of the hot water tank producing steam feeding back into the boiler.
The boiler expansion tank should not be full of water. It should have a mix of water and air to allow for expansion and contraction of the water in the system. If the tank is full of water, it may indicate a problem with the tank or the system.
The hot water usually goes to a storage tank. The PRV goes there, near or at the top.
No, a hot water tank heats water by itself.

This depends on whether the hot water comes from a combination boiler or from a hot water tank with a header tank feeding it. For a combination boiler the fault would probably be at the boiler, possibly from scale in the heat exchanger. For the system that uses the header tank and a hot water cylinder it could be that the float valve in the header tank is stuck an there for it is not refilling the tank or debris has entered the tank and is blocking the outlet.
Yes
Installing a hot water tank boiler in your home can provide consistent hot water for showers, laundry, and dishes. It can also help save energy and money by efficiently heating water only when needed. Additionally, a hot water tank boiler can increase the overall value of your home.
An immersion heater is often fitted to a hot water storage vessel to supplement the hot supply from a boiler. This electrical device heats water directly within the tank, providing an additional source of hot water when needed, especially during peak demand or when the boiler is not operational. Immersion heaters are typically used in electric water heaters and can serve as a backup heating element.
Domestic Hot Water Supply System The Solar Panel system is usually found on the roof, It uses the Sun's thermal radiation to warm up water for the house, the blackened layer absorbs the radiant energy and warms up the water flowing through the pipes. But the Hot water system uses cold water from the cold water supply tank and sinks it to the Boiler, where it is heated, and then the water which comes from the Solar panel system and water which comes from the boiler is collected in a hot water storage tank, to be used later. It is known that cold water sinks down and hot water rises up, and so if water in the hot water storage tank cools down it sinks down and then it is carried through pipes to the boiler to be reboiled.
You can't because it is non potable water. That is why there is a Watts 9D check valve on your boiler. You need a heat exchange water tank to do what you want.
