Yes, and contrary to what the History channel said, the "permanent" portion of the caps, i.e. the part that does not melt away in summer is plain water ice. The part that evaporates seasonally is carbon dioxide.

Sure is, but most of it is not water ice as we know it to cool your drink with. Although there may be evidence that water ice does or at least has existed there.
Look through a telescope (of reasonable size_ and the polar caps are quite visible! Amazing the first time you see them because proper to that you only see it as a rusty red dot. Then when you resolve it enough to the see them it is awesome!

Yes, but it's mostly dry ice(CO2). One of them suppose to have water their too.
