Ants, as any other insects may get all their water needs trough food supply. If there is any more need than that they find other source of water. (for example ants do not react to clean, dry sugar, thay can only absorb it in water solution). Depends also on the actual ant species.

Thousands, but it would depend on the kind of ants and how many eggs their queen lays.

If female ants are born sterile which ones are queens?

The vast majority of female ants are sterile. It is unclear how they are chosen but there are a select few, and I say few because there are more than one that can reproduce and will take the place as the queen. About 100 000 female ants and possibly 10 reproductive ants, as a relative ratio. Almost all ants you will see ever are sterile and female. The reproducing female ants stay out of harms way, and there are more than one so if one dies the colony isn't doomed! Male ants are not common either as they do not live very long, and only have one function which is to mate with the queen.
