Quite a bit especially if your tires are worn down to or below the tread depth limit.
True
Wet roads do reduce traction, which can negatively impact vehicle handling and stability. When tires encounter water, the risk of hydroplaning increases, leading to diminished contact with the road surface. While wet conditions can also affect braking distance, the degree of impact depends on various factors such as tire type, tread depth, and water depth. Overall, both traction and braking are compromised on wet roads.

Slow down.
...Vehicle is suspended in mid-air.
You will lose traction especially on wet roads.
Cars might skid on wet roads because water creates a layer between the tires and the road, reducing friction. This reduced friction makes it easier for the tires to lose traction and slide, leading to skidding. It is important for drivers to adjust their speed and avoid sudden maneuvers to prevent skidding on wet roads.
A vehicle loses traction on wet roads especially if the tires are worn.
They won't provide more traction when the roads are wet, it would be like driving on ice.
Yes, It is a rating of how well it "stop" in the wet. AA is the highest rating, A, B, C is the lowest.
Tire Ratings - Traction grades Traction grades are an indication of a tire's ability to stop on wet pavement. A higher graded tire should allow a car to stop on wet roads in a shorter distance than a tire with a lower grade. Traction is graded from highest to lowest as "AA", "A", "B", and "C".
It notifies the driver that the road conditions are creating reduced friction between the tyres and road surface, hence, reduced traction. You'll see it on particularly wet roads, snow/ice covered roads, etc.
