First of all, circuit breakers are rated in amps, not horsepower. Theequivalent between HP and electricity is 1 HP = 746 watts. That is a 1 HP motor requires 746 watts of power to operate it , regardless of the voltage. If you have a 250 amp circuit breaker, it is likely the main breaker to your residential panel. (?) The potential HP the panel could provide could be determined by multiplying the 250 amps times the panels voltage (208,220, 240) and divide the sum by 746.

Will turning off the main breaker turn off all the power to the circuit breaker box?

No. Power to all the circuit breakers will be cut off except for the Main power breaker. The Main power breaker (which supplies power to all other breakers and will say 100, or whatever your max breaker box power is, on it )will have power going to it all the time, unless power is turned off outside the house.
