"Viking" isn't an ethnic group. However, many vikings were Norwegians and Norwegian is a development (as are Swedish and Danish) of Old North Germanic, which in turn is part of the family that includes German and Gothic. An even larger grouping is Irano-European, which includes Farsi, or Persian and a greater group still is Indo-European, which includes Sanskrit.
The language that is most like the viking language today is Icelandc. In fact, Icelanders can read the old sagas as easily as they read their newslpapers.

Not much. The Viking influence was most felt in northern England whereas the English we speak today is the English of southern England.
