Does the sun ever set on the stars?

It is impossible for the sun to set on stars because it doesnt actually go anywhere. The reason why the sun "sets" and "rises" is just because Earth is rotating, making the side you are on face the rest of space, and away from the sun, which is our primary source of heat and light. So if the sun is not going anywhere, then it cannot set on anything.

How does the tilt of the axis cause us to see different constellations in different seasons?

No, but the fact that the Earth orbits the Sun does do that. Because of the way sunlight ins scattered through our atmosphere (and because the Sun is incredibly bright), we cannot see stars that appear near the Sun in the sky; the Sun has to go below the horizon for any stars to be visible. Stars that are near the Sun in the sky are not visible. So as the Earth goes around the Sun, a different set of stars appear to be "behind" the Sun, near it in the sky, each season.
