Hey friend, the water turned yellow because of the chromates (chromium). It's nasty stuff that should not be touched, nor poured down the sink. All these Hydrogen experiments with chromium laden water and nobody says anything. Cancer.
Metal chromium is present in all stainless steel. During electrolysis, chromium compounds are released into the electrolyte. This is part of the reason it turns yellow.
Yes, electrically isolated using baffles or something.
The water isn't a perfect dielectric. It's tap water. However, in a similar experiment, using distilled water, with no electrolyte, I achieved similar results by letting it run for around an hour, which heated the water to 185 degrees F.

That makes sense. I'll be extra careful.
Thanks!

By isolated do you mean electrically isolated?
Are you using two dielectrics?
Are you using PWM?

No PWM on this experiment.
