If high temperatures kill sperm cells shouldn't taking a hot shower or bath after sex kill off any sperm in the female because of elevated temperature?

No. The temperature of a healthy human body always stays in the range of 97-99 degrees F and will not be elevated significantly due to a hot shower. Humans are warm blooded animals- This means that our body temperature remains the same regardless of the temperature outside. We have a feedback system (homeostasis) that adjusts to temperature change as well as various other changes effecting our body.So although sperm cells can be damaged and killed by extreme temperatures (such as a male wearing tight underwear and pants) this is not an effective means of Birth Control.
Try spermicide, condoms or birth control.

yes. Because same body is at different temperatures when we use different scales of temperature.
Why are mercury used in thermometer?
because it expands and contracts in a nice linear way as the temperature changes, which makes it easy to use as an indicator.
