Of course, but how would you measure it?
It'd be less than 1/100 mm !!!

By the basic laws of physics, motion of fluids, etc.
The answer is yes.
But by such a microsopic level that it would be about impossible to track.
The ratio of water volume to ships displacing water volume has to be around 1,000,000,000 to 1.
To easily prove this, take a glass cooking pot and fill it with water to a level, place a toy boat in it. What happens, the water goes up, take it out and the water goes down. Earth acts in the same principle.

Probably not, the ocean is VERY deep and they're all connected. Plus, because of global warming, there is
a lot more water being added to the ocean. Probably it would just be a little bit cleaner because there wouldn't be so much gas and oil spewing into it.

In theory, yes...
In practice, the change in volume would be infinitesimally small, compared to changes due to air pressure variations, rainfall, evaporation, etc.
Even if those factors could, somehow, be eliminated, the amount of water displaced by vessels is such a tiny fraction of the volume of the world's oceans, it would not be possible to measure the difference.

Yes.
The water level goes down when you get out of the tub doesn't it?
Thing is, Where are you gonna put all those boats?

It might, but the level the oceans would go down (they are all connected, you know) would be so small that you couldn't measure it.

Not really, the water level constantly fluctuates by very small amounts dues to evaporation, rainfall., ice melting, riverflow etc etc.

no, all the ships in the world don't make a difference, it is just like dropping a pin in a glass of water, it doesn't rise none, and it doesn't decrease when u remove the pin

no because of global warming and the weight of the boats on land would press down on the earth to cause the water to rise again.

I dont think so. They dont really affect the amount of water there is or the level of it. Plus, with melting polar ice caps, its rising somewhat.
