A short burst of rust-coloured water from a tap that has sat unused usually comes from corrosion inside an old galvanized branch. It clears quickly if it's just sediment. If it keeps running discoloured, the pipe feeding that tap is worth inspecting.

It does, because the pipe feeding it sits in air that tracks outdoor temperature rather than house temperature. Once October lows average around 44 degrees that line is running cold most nights. Draining it and closing its own valve is the practical answer.

That knock is water hammer, and on an outdoor line it usually means a long unsecured run of pipe between the shutoff and the wall. Old strapping works loose over the years. A plumber can add support or an arrestor so the pipe stops slamming against the framing.

Requirements vary by municipality, but a dedicated interior valve on any hose bib is standard practice regardless. Without it the only way to isolate a failed outdoor line is the main. That matters at the moment something splits.

Usually yes, and on most systems it sits with the backflow assembly rather than at the main. Irrigation piping is shallow and it drains through a blowout port or a low drain valve. Getting that done before frost is what keeps the backflow device from cracking.
