Even a little bit? If not, why is that?

Standing on the north pole will not change the amount of rotation that is felt. It is too little to feel anywhere. The only thing that changes is the axis of the rotation.
You will notice that the sun moves 360 degrees along the horizon. It will not go higher or lower according to the time of day. It will only go higher or lower according to the seasons.

No. Because you are here and don't feel the rotation of the earth and at the North Pole it would be too small a vibration to actually "feel". You will notice the axis changing for the seasons though as you do wherever you are now. So that would be exciting and worth noticing. @8-)

You would not feel it because it is rotating too slowly. It is one revolution per day. That is 1/1440 RPM. That is just too slow to feel. The restaurant on top of the space needle in Seattle rotates much faster than that and I don't think you can feel that either, but I have never been up there.

No, for the same reason you don't feel it now. It's all relative. The Earth has been rotating as long as you've been on it. If it was still and then started rotating you would feel it.

If you were a Foucault pendulum, yes, you would notice that the Earth is spinning underneath you.
