Yes, it does. And the technical word for the process of passing directly from a solid to a gas is 'sublimation'. It's what frozen carbon-dioxide (dry ice) does.

It sublimates, which means it goes directly from solid to gas without ever being a liquid. If it is warm enough. On Pluto it would not sublimate because it would be too cold. In Earth orbit it would be warm enough to sublimate if it were in direct sunlight.

No, it doesn't. 99 percent of the water in cold clouds is ice condensed on cold dust grains, while only 1 percent is in gaseous form. (that includes space)

Yes, look the comets. The tail is water and gas.

No it does not.
Most Meteors are composed of dust and ice.

Yep. That's why comets have tails.
