I don't know if this supports your board, but it probably does. It won't hurt anything if you try it, and it's great.

You should be able to check it within your BIOS.

Delete, F1, F2, F12, CTRL, and TAB Depends on what motherboard you have really... Try those. Do you not see any options upon startup while you computer is posting?

Yes, it should. Most good motherboards will shutdown if the CPU temps goes to high.

Actually, P4s don't shutdown, they slow themselves down automagically to reduce temps if temps reach a certain trigger point.

You can download temperature monitor software for your motherboard and the case temperature of your computer called Motherboard Monitor. I use it because it gives real time temps without going to bios to get the readings. It is a free download at: http://mbm.livewiredev.com/.
