No, as it freezes it loses energy, giving it off as 'latent heat'. This effect can be used in an outdoor shed when you fear a frost. If you put a load of buckets of water in the shed, then if there is a frost at night, the water will give out heat as it freezes, keeping the ambient temperature at 0 degrees Centigrade until all the water is frozen, which might be long enough to prevent the frost from freezing other things - jars of pickles for instance, which freeze at a slightly lower temperature.

It does. It requires quite a lot of energy to melt ice. It should be noted that the temperature of the ice/water mix doesn't increase while heat is being added - it remains at about 0°C. The heat is used to melt the ice, not to increase the temperature.

Does energy flow into or out of water when it is turning into ice?

It must flow out, ice contains less energy than water. You just have to remember that heat is energy, and all energy, no matter what form, eventually winds up as heat. Take heat energy out of water, it gets cooler, and eventually freezes. Add heat energy to ice, it first changes state to liquid, and then starts to get warmer. Keep adding heat energy to it, it keeps getting warmer and warmer. Keep additing heat energy to it, and eventually it changes state to gas ... called "steam". Take heat energy out of the steam, it first changes state to liquid, then gets cooler. etc. etc.

Is it true that gas absorbs energy as it changes into a liquid?

When a gas changes to a liquid, it goes through the process of Condensation. This is when the gas cools and loses energy. Then the particles are forced to change state, from a gas to a liquid.
