Closing the main and draining down is the usual advice for a property left cold and unoccupied, because an unattended burst can run for days. Heat left on low is the other half of it. A plumber can drain the system properly so nothing is left holding water where it can freeze.

The homeowner owns it from the curb stop in toward the house in most Pennsylvania systems, and the utility owns the main and the curb stop itself. That split is why a leak in the front yard usually lands on you and a leak under the road usually doesn't. Your water provider can confirm where their responsibility stops on your street.

Usually yes, because a quarter-turn ball valve closes properly after years of sitting and a gate valve often does not. On older homes with galvanised service pipe the fitting work is the awkward part rather than the valve itself. A plumber can tell you whether the surrounding pipe will take it.

It matters when something goes wrong, because a box nobody can find costs time exactly when time is expensive. Marking it while the ground is workable is a small job. Digging it out and clearing the lid is a reasonable thing to ask a plumber to handle on a routine visit.
