Water is at it's most dense at 4 degree's. Also, water is more dense than Ice. So using these two ideas if you had Ice at 3 degs and melted the Ice the water produced would be more dense and would continue to be more dense until the water reached 4 degs, at which point the water itself would become less dense you can go all the way to boiling point and beyond if you like.

Yes.
At 4 deg cel, water has the smallest volume. When temperature is decreased further, the volume of water increases until it forms ice at 0 deg cel.
Therefore, when ice melts, it contracts until 4 deg cel and expands henceforth.

no. If it's ice water, it's already melted. Nice try.
That's like if a plane crashes on the border between the U.S. and Canada, which side do they bury the survivers on?

Yes , water is an exception in nature. it is one of rare material where the solid is less dense than liquid. It is due to hydrogen bounds in liquid between an atom of hydrogen and a atom of oxygen of two distinct molecules of liquid water.
IN fact the water has not its greater density at 3°C but at 4°C
