Will closing the valve on that radiator partially, or even fully, effect the heat levels in the other radiators in the house?

If your radiators are hot water and have a valve where you can bleed the lines, I would try that first. I used to have to do that quite often. What I found was one room wasn't getting any heat, while another room was hotter then you know what:)) Once I let the air out of the lines (bled them) I had even heat throughout the house.
Hope this helps.

if you have steam, get an adjustable steam vent at a plumbing supply house set it at lowest setting(1) if steam is escaping (more than just a little air when first heating up) then your vent is bad.your radiator valve will not affect it much unless it is completely closed. look at the size of the tiny hole on the vent. the huge valve would have to be closed to let less air though than that.

It shouldn't. The radiators should have a bypass line built around them for just this reason.
Try turning that one down, make sure the others are turned up and see what happens. If the cold rooms get colder, the system isn't designed to work that way and you'll have to have it modified or live with it.

On many structures there is an electrically operated valve that directs the nice and comfortable water furnish dependant upon call for ie; while the heating is off, it strikes so as that it fairly is in basic terms offering water to perfect up your warm water tank, yet while heating is on, it strikes and components the two heating and warm water storage structures, or in basic terms the heating if the nice and comfortable water tank is as much as temperature. those valves can leak internally and this can grant the symptom which you describe. as this is not any longer completely offering the heating equipment, purely the upstairs rads get warm.

If adjusting the valve doesn't work, crack a window. Will still be less expensive than running an electric heater, and less dangerous.

Yes just shut it off at the valve.

Don't think so. Maybe you should get an electric heater for that room.

It shouldent do but it could do. It depends what heating you got.
