On my valve driven guitar amps, standby is used to make sure that the valves are up to temperature and ready to go as soon as the amps are switched "on". On my 440s, having them warm in standby mode means they are up to operating temperature that bit quicker.
No, companion unit is not cold. It has the same temperature as the master unit. Without trigger cable it has higher temperature than the master unit.
It gets cold if you unplug it from the mains, but not on stand by or power off.
To me, difference between stand by and power off it is a misstery (except for display behavior). I was not able to find technical details about this...
