[Note: There are critical safety concerns involved here. Read the whole answer!] I'm no plumber, but I do know this: You need to determine if your water heater is designed for side venting or verticle venting! If installed improperly, the water heater may allow deadly carbon monoxide into your home and possibly cause a fire! I think this one is best left up to a professional. Hope this helps.
yes there are direct vent gas water heater available Absolutely NOT
B-vent pipe.
a direct vent water heater is more fuel efficient (cost's less to operate). aside from that there isn't much difference, aside from not needing a double wall flue through the roof on a standard gas water heater.
The difference between a mobile gas water heater and a standard gas water heater is that a MH unit will use an outside air intake for combustion. That is the most important difference.

No. Gas water heaters are not all designed to use direct venting.

I doubt the gas company will install a water heater. Too much liability.

It means your water heater does not have the right combustion air for the gas valve to operate correctly or your vent may be plugged
