When you add a metal to an acid, it creates two items. It creates a type of metallic salt and it creates some hydrogen gas.
No. Ionic bonds dissolve in water the best.

Some acids react with some metals and not all acids react with all metals. It all depends on what is reacting with what. However, assuming there is a reaction, the acid will dissolve the metal to produce the metal salt of that acid; at the same time it will produce hydrogen gas. ie 2H+ + M = 2M+ + H2
its definitley not acid Some metals are called alkali metals or alkaline earth metals because they often form alkaline compounds; but metals are not alkali or acids.
Carbonic acid can dissolve some components of granite.

That will depend not only on the metal but also on the acid. Some strong acids will dissolve almost all metals almost instantly, some weak acids will do nothing at all to any metal. Some metals (e.g. zinc) are corroded or even dissolved by most acids, some metals (e.g. gold) are totally unaffected except by certain mixtures of very strong acids.
Most metals (like Steel, Aluminium, Copper etc.) do not dissolve in water, however there are some (like Sodium) that will.

No, bases can also react with some metals (ex.: aluminium and sodium hydroxide).

Titanium is an unsoluble metal, like ALL metals. Some are able to react with water (alkali metals) but that's something different from solubilization
Nitric acid reacts strongly with many metals.
Metals whose surfaces are "passivated" by for example the formation of an insoluble oxide do not react with acid. An example is aluminium which is resistant to dilute acid.
Vinegar (acetic acid) can react with some reactive metals as alkaline metals.
