If you have been driving the car for some time, you should have noticed on many occasions that the needle on the temp gauge rises to a certain place and usually stays right there. If the needle, in normal driving, is rising higher than it used to, and staying there, you do need to get that checked out, yes, because that obviously isn't "normal".

Is it normal for the temperature to go up on a thermometer when it has come out of a ice-water bath for 1 minute?

Assuming that the surroundings are above the freezing point of water - yes - it is normal for the temperature on the thermometer to go up. It may still remain elevated even if plunged back into the ice bath since the thermometer has mass and can absorb some energy while out of the bath. There is also the phenomena that in some thermometers even when the temperature drops, the thermometer fluid sometimes remains elevated unless you "shake down" the thermometer.
