Shut the tank down, so that it does not fire up.
Was you water shut off,due to unpaid bill. Is there a break in the water line feed to the house. Did the check valve break, did someone shut off a valve to the heater.
For what ever reason, if there is no water flow to the heater, it must be turned off.

Sorry, thats a bad answer because it was a bad question.
Give us more details. The most likely culprit is the pilot light not being lit. Follow the instructions on the side of the water heater to re-light it.

How does a hot-cold Water Dispenser work?
It has a compressor (like a refrig or air conditioner) which compresses a gas (freon) creating hot gas, This gas heats the hot water tank as it condenses to a liquid, The liquid then goes to the evaporator, where it boils back to a gas again, taking heat energy out of the cold water tank and cooling the water before returning to the compressor to start again. The hot water tank may have another heat source to boost the temperature higher.

Can you shut off the inflow valve to hot water heater for a day without harming system if so should pressure valve be left open and limited usage of hot water?
If you have a leak on the hot water somewhere in the house and the water input into the tank is not running, the tank will lose it's water. And if it is an electric tank, the elements will burn out. Gas hot water tank should be no problem. Pressure valve does not have to be open.
What type of noise should you hear when hot water tank is making hot water?
It depends on if it's a gas water heater or electric. I don't think electric makes any noise, but a gas water heater, you'll the gas ignite, and hear the rushing gas from the burner.
