    At this time, when you turn off your cell phone, it is truly turned off. For your phone to be tracked, it must send a signal which would drain the battery. In the future, they could change this so that send a signal every few minutes but there is not any profit in building this feature so it is unlikely unless there is some sort of government intervention.

    No but 'can' be used as such. A mobile phone is not a games console but 'can' be used as such.

    No. you are not transmitting a signal. but, if you need this service, some carriers are now equipped with gps, global positioning system, which can track your location 24-7.
