Sorry, copper does not react with sulphuric acid because it is not reactive enough to do so. Only metals which are higher than hydrogen in the reactivity series will react with sulphuric acid.

No sulfuric acid will not fizz with copper. It would only react with copper if it was not diluted, or concentrated and hot.

Yes. The reaction produces copper sulfate and water, and releases carbon dioxide gas (CO2).

Concentrated sulfuric acid might, but dilute sulfuric acid does not corrode copper.
