Why does an ice cube stay still when you spin the glass of water?

Inertia.
An object at rest stays at rest unless acted on by an outside force. While you turn the glass, you only turn a small amount of the fluid inside - that part closest to the glass.
The ice, being massive and solid, is only weakly acted on by the moving fluid. It takes a lot of fluid to get it to move.
So, inertia keeps the ice in position.

No, a Beyblade cannot spin on water because it requires a solid surface to grip onto in order to spin effectively. Water is not solid enough for the Beyblade's tip to create the necessary friction to spin.
Why will an ice cube placed in a cup of hot rotating water spin automatically faster than the water itself?
the center of a whirlpool is spinning the fastest. the cube is in the center so its spinning equal or a lil slower than the water directly under it but the water neer the edge of the cup is spinning slower.....put something in the toilet, flush it and observe how it spins faster as it reaches the center...........use something that wont clog the toilet
