Can temperature in the sink vary from the temperature in the dishwasher?
Absolutely. Every built-in dishwasher can heat water to a higher temperature than what dispenses from your kitchen sink.

Do you need to have strong water pressure to run an automatic dishwasher or does the dishwater provide its own water pressure?
It provides it's own pressure. It has it's own pump which is used to create the needed pressure to wash the dishes.
Why do you not have water pressure after hooking up dishwasher?
Where do you not have pressure? At the sink? Probably some rust came loose and is blocking the screen in the end of the spout.
How many valves are under a kitchen sink?
2-3 usually. 1 each for hot and cold water and possibly a third for hot water going to dishwasher.
Kitchen faucet doesn't work but dishwasher does?
Possibly unscrew your aerator at the end of the spout and see if the screen is clogged. Blow it out and rescrew the aerator on. If that isn't the problem, sometimes things get caught in the spout. Unscrew the spout and turn the water on. If there is water coming from there and not out the spout when it is hooked up, the spout is plugged. If no water coming out when the spout is off, rehook spout and change cartridges or stems in the faucet AFTER shutting the water off. Depends on the brand of faucet, check the instructions for the brand and model. Also your kitchen dishwasher and sinks are run on seperate valves. The dishwasher valve is usually under the sinks (causing the water to go to the dishwasher first) the valve that was installed for the sink (before the dishwasher) may be bad too.
