It depends on the policy and on the cause, so contact your insurance provider before assuming either way. Sudden water damage and gradual leaking are often treated very differently. Photographs of the damage and any plumbing paperwork you have help the conversation.
Yes, and it is worth finding on a calm day rather than during a leak. In most houses it sits near where the line enters the basement or crawlspace, ahead of the meter. Closing it stops the water to the whole house, which is the first thing to do if a supply line lets go.
Scale builds faster on the hot side, so in a galvanized system the hot branch narrows first. The water heater itself can also be holding sediment that restricts flow. A plumber will check both rather than assuming one.
It is a small device fitted near a fast-closing valve that gives moving water somewhere to go when the valve shuts. Houses with a washing machine or dishwasher on a long rigid run are the usual candidates. A plumber will check house pressure first, since high pressure makes hammering worse.
