What widget are you using to generate the page shown in your screenshot? If you use the "Ticket Conversations" widget available in the base system, it removes the comment entry and button once closed.
If you created a custom widget, you can easily set ng-show to false or ng-disabled to true based on the record state.

In ACL did you restrict the write access when incident is closed

ACL should restrict the access. If you are making all fields readonly then try to use a table lavel write ACL. It will hide activity comments.
