Yes, they do. See the link in the source section for an explanation. As for the why, the same reasons as tides occur in any sufficiently large bodies of water (gravitational interaction between earth and our moon).

The entire Earth experiences tidal action. The force is not great enough to see where the Earth is being moved, by it can be determined with sensitive scientific instruments.

Yes they experience a tidal effect, the effect is noticed better in a close body of water in the conduits to open sea, the tidal current, in a close, isolated, and small there is no noticeable tidal effect.

Yes, but, even as huge as they are, they are so much smaller than the oceans, the tidal range is no more than a couple inches. It is practically unnoticeable. Any waves or whitecaps kicked up by the wind are usually much larger.

Yes, but it is only an inch or so. The wind has a bigger effect

I presume that they do but I don't know to what extent...
