An adverb is a descriptive word that modifies a verb. 'Soaked' does not modify a verb (eg the sentence "Dave soaked glanced at Karen, who melted" does not make sense, because 'soaked' isn't an adverb), and therefore is not an adverb. In a sentence that uses 'soaked': "Dave soaked Karen at the water gun festival, and thereafter she was soaked," 'soaked' is used first as a past-tense verb, and second as predicate adjective modifying 'Karen.' Therefore, one may conclude that 'soaked' is not an adverb.

Yes, but only idiomatically as in "soaking wet" where soaking can be considered to intensify wet, as also seen with "dripping wet" which can be even wetter. Soaking is normally a verb form and gerund (noun).
