re: Buran= Shuttle

Just like the Shuttle, Buran is located next to its booster, not on its top, which is now considered very dangerous.
And if there's no Shuttle anymore, astronauts won't be able to carry the engines back to Earth.

Besides, ISS cannot be brought back to Earth without the agreement from the other partners.
