More than likely it will. Have you ever seen what effect changing the centre of gravity has on a spinning object.
As the ice melts and water rises we are throwing more of the earths mass further out from the centre. This will increase the speed of rotation, Possibly even introduce a small wobble.
At the very least we will be looking at slightly shorter days which means less chance for the earth to cool off at night. Leading to even greater warming.

Very doubtful unless it happened all at once. There is no evidence that such changes occurred in previous ice age starts or ends. Anyway, even if the ice caps melt, the sum total of water is unchanged.

No. Certainly there would be no change to the orbit. There might be a very small change in rotation, maybe speeding up by a fraction of a second per day, but I think there would be no change to the tilt.

Probably. However, I think that everyone should be worrying about the ancient Mayan calendar. The Mayans predicted the end of the world in 2012. The way the Ross Ice Shelf is dissolving, if it breaks off and floats into the ocean, when it melts all the oceans, seas, rivers and such will rise 47 feet. That will wipe out about two-thirds of the worlds population right there. And in the scramble to survive, war, disease and pestilence will wipe out all but several million of the rest. Leaving pretty much the end of the world. And if you check scientific journals it will happen sometime around 2012.

not to any measurable degree
