Mass affects the density of a object which therefore affects the floating and sinking of it
Sinking or floating are determined by the density of the object.
An objects weight has nothing to do with sinking or floating (ships are very heavy).If an object is less dense than the equivalent volume of water, it will float.If an object is more dense than the equivalent volume of water, it will sink.If an object is exactly as dense as the equivalent volume of water (at its displacement depth), it will exist in perfect equilibrium, neither sinking nor floating.
To determine if an object will float in a substance, you look only at its density
An object will float if it has less density than the fluid in which it is placed; if the object has more density, it will sink.

No, As long as you can see if the object is floating or sinking, then the amount of water does not matter

They aren't really. Floating is when an object is held up against the pull of gravity due to the density of the liquid in which the object is resting (though technically, while sitting in a chair you are "floating" but we generally don't use the word that way). Sinking is just an object being pulled down by gravity despite the resistance of the liquid. Sinking is functionally the same as falling, however it generally happens at a slower rate due to the higher resistance (friction) provided by liquid over gasses.
A floating object is an object that is floating, which is a floating object. Which = floating object.
Archimedes' principles: -- An object in a fluid experiences an upward force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. -- A sinking object displaces its volume. -- A floating object displaces its weight.
