No. The meter measures, and the valves on either side of it do the stopping. Many homes here have a valve just before the meter and another just after, and the one after is the one you want for work inside. Knowing which is which before an emergency is half the battle.

No, and it usually means the packing or the seat is worn rather than that you did anything wrong. Old gate valves in particular tend to weep once they get moved after years of sitting. It is a small repair when handled on its own and a bad surprise if it turns up in the middle of an emergency.

It can, since a new service run is often brought in at a tidier point with a modern valve close to the entry. The curb stop generally stays where the utility put it. If a replacement is on the cards, ask for the new inside valve to be somewhere you can actually reach.

Start where the service line enters, which in most older homes here means the basement wall facing the street, usually low and often near the meter. In houses without a full basement it can sit in a crawlspace, a utility closet or behind a panel. If nothing turns up, a plumber can trace the line from the meter in a few minutes.
