the reaction is endothermic, so there is a slight decrease in the temperature of the water, as the system that consists of the dissolving tablet consumes heat from its surroundings.
the water gets colder.

Since the bubbles going through the water are a chemical reaction, not boiling...I don't think it affects it much one way or the other. I think heat exchange would be negligible.
Not that I've stuck the thermometer in the Alka-Seltzer before. If I have a cold, the thermometer would be in my mouth, not in the glass.

It doesnt. Water affects the temp of the alka selzer.
