Raise the room temperature, or place a hot water bottle inside the machine, and allow the ice to melt in the pipes. Hopefully, the plastic pipes will take the expansion from the ice and not spring a leak.
the hp of the washing machine is from 1/4 to 3/4 hp it depends from machine to machine.
This is not a good idea. The washing machine current will surge when motor is started. a 20 Amp dedicated circuit is recommended for a washing machine.
Yes, you can do that. But they aren't insulated at all so plan on refilling the ice often. After the party simply run the machine as normal on "short wash". It will sense that it is already full or nearly full and will run as always. **Yes. Put it on a spin cycle if it works, lower the drain hose to ground level to drain if it does not work.

washing machine works on the principal of pushing water through clothes
You can drain it directly into a drain pipe. Just make sure the the top of the drain pipe is even with the top of the washing machine. If not, the water from the washing machine will drain all of the time. There is no valve in the machine to stop the water from draining. The washing machine drains using a pump motor.
No.
Draining refers to water falling due to gravity so you can't technically drain a washing machine to an overhead drain. However, washing machines don't really drain. The water is pumped out and up and can therefore be discharged to a drain that is slightly higher than the washing machine itself
yes
No, stand pipe for washing machine is meant only for washing machine. Tie sink into drain line that washing machine stand pipe is tied into. 2" minimum drain line should be what you tie into. Sink drain line use 1 1/2".
......before, but I would not recommend direct drain. The washing machine hose must extend up above the flood rim of the washing machine before entering the drain. If not, there is a possibility of sewage backing up into your washing machine.
yes
to push any button .
yes
no, in fact most plumbing codes require a 2" drain/trap for washing maching drain.
The drain is getting plugged and the toilet is lower than the washing machine drain so it is easier for the water to come up in the toilet than to go straight out the drain. Put some drain cleaner down the drain where the washing machine drains and that may solve the problem.
