A supersaturated solution is acalled a dry solution. It is indeed very concentrated.
As for the second question, you should ask it to the Physics department, but since I'm a tresspasser from the physics dep. to this chemistry dep. I will try to answer.
As the solution is very concentrated, it's density is trully high.
as you put a piece of ice in the solution it will displace an equal volume of the solution, since the density of the solution is greater than the density of ice, the weight of the ice cube will be less than the weight of an equal volume of the solution & thereby the weight will be less than the buoyant force exerted by the solution on the ice cube. so there will be a resultant upward thrust. Hence the cube will not submerge, it will remain floating on the solution.

Yes a supersaturated solution is a dry solution, an ice cube cannot submerge in a dry solution

You mean Dry Ice.

If so it is solid Carbon Dioxide. You cannot/must not touch it.

It is so cold that you can Freeze your skin and get cold burns, or even loose the figures , the figures gets numb and you feel nothing in few seconds.
