Is it safe to have an electrical outlet behind a shower wall next to the faucet valves where the water tank is also stored?

Sure, as long as it is not exposed to direct contact with water (the phrasing of your question is confusing). You should have a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interupt) outlet in this wet location. Its purpose is to protect the user of an electrical appliance from electrocution. It is highly sensitive to moisture intrusion into the circuit, which causes it to trip.

Can hot water bleed into the cold water line through a sing handle shower body?
Yes, it can also cross through a two handled faucet. Both the hot and cold sides of the faucet must be on and the flow of water must be stopped or greatly reduced on the outlet side of the faucet. This can occur when a hose with a spray nozzle is attached to a laundry tub faucet with the faucet on and the spray nozzle off, or when a shower faucet is on but the shower spray head is off. When another cold water outlet in the system is turned on then the pressure on the cold side of the laundry tub or shower faucet in question could be lowered below the pressure on the hot side and hot water can flow into the cold water side. There are faucets which have integral check valves which prevent this from occurring. WWW.WOODBRIDGEPLUMBING.COM

Why would there be water on main level but no water on second level?
Do you mean water leak or water pressure at the faucet? If you are not getting water thru the pipes you may have low pressure, or there is some blockage in the pipes preventing the water from flowing. Lots of times dirt gets in the small holes in the shower head and the sinks faucet (right where the water comes out). You will need to turn the water off in the basin or the shower. Next, take a pair of pliers and remove the shower head, or the basin's spout head. Look in the piece you removed. Is there dirt in it? Clean it or replace the part. Turn the water back on. Hopefully it was only debris blocking your water flow. The entire faucet will not have to be removed. Only unscrew the spout's aerator head., or the showere head.
