Heat maintained, the main shutoff closed, and somebody checking the building. Those three together cap the damage from almost any failure. Whether the lines should also be drained depends on the routing and is worth assessing once.

Because a century of additions leaves supply lines in places nobody would run them today, often through an unheated porch or a crawlspace under an extension. New construction keeps the pipe inside the insulation.

That the failure mode isn't a one-off cold snap, it's sustained cold. Anything that relies on residual heat rather than actual heat will eventually run out during a stretch like that.

No. Plenty freeze and thaw without splitting, particularly flexible material. The problem is you can't tell which happened until pressure returns, so the main should be closed before the thaw.
