"Is turning off the heater from the control switches (next to water pump) enough or do I have to turn off the breaker."
I would rather be extra safe and turn off the breaker, maybe 10 seconds to do.
The temp/pressure relief valve is in the upper right area of the heater.
It's the brass body fixture with the open end. It has the blue collar on it and the lever is raised to slightly more than 90 degrees. Some say don't use it, others say open and close periodically, to give the air pocket. IF it leaks after being opened, just open and close a couple of times. If it ever fails, just go to a hardware store, box store, Lowes, Home Depot etc, as opposed to an RV store. same item either place but the cost $.
