Nope. Sunspots are too much bigger than planets. The mass of the Sun is about as affected by it's planets as the Earth is by communication satellites. Just not enough mass there.
Now, if Jupiter was in the orbit of Mercury, then you might seem some tidal effects. Provided Earth was still functional.

Sun spots are the coolest regions on the Sun's surface. Their temperature varies in between 2000-3000 degrees centigrade. The number of sunspots has been found to correlate with the intensity of solar radiation over the period - since 1979 - when satellite measurements of radiation are available. Since sunspots are dark it is natural to assume that more sunspots means less solar radiation. However, the surrounding areas are brighter and the overall effect is that more sunspots means a brighter sun

Oh, I suppose it could. But then scientists would have to rewrite everything we know about Physics, so let's not go there.
