Your direct unvented cylinder will replenish with cold mains supplied cold water the moment you open any hot outlet tap or valve connected to the system. in simple terms, any cold water introduced to the cylinder will reduce the temperature of the water but hot the cylinder will still hold hotwater at a certain level until it has been consumed.

please bear in mind that depending on your usage, the immersion heater timings and the time the hot water takes to re generate in accordance to the manufacturers instructions the immersion thermostats should automatically start the heating process ( call for heat) once it has detected that the tempreture has dropped below the desired level. the volume of hot water used will ultimately affect the timing of your immersion heaters.

Yes you can an outside tap can be fitted to pretty much any property, even if the current pipework is not close to where the tap needs to be. it is, of course, an easier job if the water feed is close by especially to the exterior wall you would lime it to be but in this case your options are limited without disruption and expense.
most definitely install an isolation valve before the outlet and ensure that the outside tap has an inbuilt non return valve so to avoid any cross contamination of the mains water supply.

as long as the tap has been installed correctly and is serviceable you can locater the tap in many locations. be aware an outside tap is not very pretty so i suggest you place it wisely over a sink would be great as this will eliminate potentials of dripping etc when your hose is either placed on or off. i hope this helps
