Shut the branch feeding it and drain the trap and the supply lines before the cold arrives. A trap full of water will crack a fitting as readily as a supply line will. If the room gets used through winter, the better answer is a small heat source rather than seasonal shutdowns.

A fixture nobody runs still holds water in its supply lines and its trap, so it carries the same freeze risk as one in daily use. Rarely used bathrooms in cold parts of a house are a common failure point. Shut and drain what you are not using.

Usually yes, and it tends to be worth doing when the wall is already open for other work. Rerouting a supply run to the interior side takes it out of the cold permanently. Where that is not practical, as in many of the older places out toward Harlem and Waynesboro, insulating from the inside and adding a shutoff is the next best step.

That varies with the policy, so contact your insurance provider before repairs start. Most want photographs of the damage, the failed section of pipe, and a plain account of when the failure happened. A plumber's written description of what broke usually satisfies the technical part.
