Q: Are live site indexable by search engines
1. Are the live sites indexed by search engines?
2. Are temp/staging sites indexed?
3. Can I turn off live site from being indexed?
4. Can I share a link with clients for them to view the front end of a staging site?

They're regular live WordPress sites, so yes—they are indexable. This also applies to temp/staging sites, though since they're temporary, search engines usually don't find them before they expire. Like with any WordPress (or non-WordPress) site, you can add a noindex tag if you don’t want them to be indexed.
And yes, you can absolutely share links with clients to preview the frontend of a staging site. You can spin up a new site anytime at https://tastewp.com/new and try it out.
