Are you sure the self cutting tap has actually cut through the pipe?

The problem is going to be with the tap. You will need to change the hot tap insert.

As long as the valves shut off then yes. You can turn off both of the valves and crack a nut (going onto the radiator) to drain any water in the radiator into a little dish and then obviously remove the radiator. You can then cap off the valves using these -...

Did a Polish plumber tell you that piece of advice?

I just leave one downstairs tap on and then turn it off before you turn the mains on, then just go around to all the taps and turn them on (there will be a bit of spluttering but will work its way out after a few seconds).

The basket strainer waste will be too large to fit in the hole you have. You will need a new sink if you want to do this.
