The solvent is usually just water, though I wouldn't be surprised to find out some inks contain alcohol or some similar volatile liquid. The solute is the dye that gives the ink color.

However, some inks (e.g. India ink, printer's ink) are suspensions of pigments, not solutions of dyes.

Yes indeed, it is a solution because it is composed of two or more substances that are evenly distributed amongst each other. It is not a solvent because it does not dissolve and solvent are usually waters. Yes it is a solute because of the dye. The dye is something add to the water, the dye makes it have color.

It depends on the ink. Some ink dissolves in water. Some requires alcohol. Offset press ink requires organic solvents like mineral spirits. Solvent-based inkjet printer ink uses the same solvent as the ink contains: full-solvent ink uses cyclohexanone, eco-solvent ink needs a glycol ether, and rotogravure ink uses toluene.
