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.
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.
At the curb stop, in most local systems. From there to the meter and on into the house is private plumbing, which is why a wet patch between the sidewalk and the front door is usually a homeowner repair. Your provider will tell you which side of that valve your problem sits on.
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.
