If your bladder is damage in any way, your boiler will run but you will have other problems.

If your expansion tank is not working, you will be seeing water leaking out of the Pressure Relief Valve when pressure gets around 30psi (most residential boilers). The water may stop dripping when the boiler reaches its highest temperature, but once the boiler starts cooling down, water will start contracting causing low pressure. This will cause the automatic fill valve to let water back into the boiler thus making the water drip out the relief valve again when it heats up.

DO NOT shut off the water inlet valve. This could cause high damage or seriously injury if you run out of water.

You should replace the tank and also the relief valve to be safe. Call a licenced plumber.

Can a faulty check valve cause my well pump to turn on frequently even though no water is running?

Yes. The well pump turns on when the pressure in the accumulator tank falls to a low enough pressure to actuate the switch. If the pump check valve is leaking, the pressure is being bled back through the pump until the switch trips and the pump turns on. Other leaks in the system that allow the pressure to bleed down can also cause this.
