deionized water is just a way that water has been purified so that it is suitable to use in the lab. If you really want to get really technical, the ions that belong to the said steel screws may not even be in the same room as the screws. But if you are asking whether or not you can make the metals in steel become ionic by putting it in water, it depends. Probably, some of the surface atoms can become ionized, but not all of the atoms will be ions.

If you want to leach ions off of stainless steel screws, better to know what ions, so you can use the right solution(s) and add power if needed.

it doesn't matter what type of water, everything in it will lose some ions into the water. It is just a matter of how little some smaller than say 10^(-50), but there will be a small amount which is your question.

In theory yes, by osmotic balance.
