No, the level will remain the same. The amount of ice above the water line will exactly match the difference in volume of ice and water. As the ice melts, the top of the un-melted ice will approach the water level until the last bit melts - at the water level.
;-D The water will get colder though. If the ice were proportional in size to the water, the water level might go down because cold water is more dense than warm water. I am not sure about the amount of changes in the volume of water as the temperature changes. It might not be noticeable in a given amount of water.

no, it will go down. when water is turned into ice, the molecules spread and they take bigger volume and less density. so, when the ice melts, the molecules tend to come closer to each other and volume is decreased. when ice, the molecules look like hexagons. so, level falls, cause now the melted water takes less space than before.

No since when ice melts and becomes water, its specific gravity becomes more and thus it occupies a lesser volume.

No the ice's weight is the same as its volume of water

Definately yes but it cannot be observed
