The name soda normally implies gassy or "fizzy". Soda is fizzy because carbon dioxide, a gas, is dissolved in the water under pressure. When you open the soda the pressure inside the can is released and the gas bubbles out. The carbon dioxide sits happily in the water while under pressure, because it is quite soluble. However, carbon dioxide is not soluble in ice. When you freeze soda the gas comes out of solution, and causes an unusually high pressure in the can. You will often see the can distort, sometimes to the point of becoming almost a perfect sphere. Opening a can of frozen soda is always messy and can be dangerous. If you get a can like this, put it away in a safe place. As it thaws the carbon dioxide will go back into solution, the pressure will return to safe levels and the can will return to almost its original shape. It's OK to drink it.

when in freezer for a long period of time it usually busts open because ice is less dense than water, i.e. occupies more volume than liquid water. Since soda is mostly water, it expands when frozen.

You can freeze a bottle of soda when its open, only if the cap is off when you freeze it. You can also put it in a small, plastic cup and freeze it to make a popcicle.

Because it is water based, the contents will expand and split or crack the container. It can explode and make a mess of your freezer or car interior if that's where you leave it.

Yes. It will cause the aluminum to cool and assume the temperature of the freezer. And it won't take long either, as aluminum is a pretty good conductor of heat. That's about it.

Rather, nothing will happen to the empty water bubble but just making the plastic cold. Actually, it isn't the plastic bottle that is affected, it's only the water that is being affected (if there is any).
