No. Only liquids and gases are considered fluids because they are able to be compressed. This is because their molecules are spaced out and have the ability to move closer. Ice is a solid, thus having a fixed shape and unable to be compressed.

How many fluid ounces per pound of ice?

The conversion from the weight of ice cubes to the volume of water they produce when melted is quite straightforward, as ice (frozen water) and liquid water have a near 1:1 mass-to-volume ratio. This means that the weight of the ice in ounces (avoirdupois ounces) will be approximately the same as the volume of water in fluid ounces when the ice melts.

How can you prevent cold drinks from being diluted by ice cubes?

You can't prevent melting ice from diluting drinks unless it's contained in something like a baggie. You can buy little fluid filled plastic "fake" ice in different shapes and colors. They are kept in the freezer just like ice, but when they are put in drinks the fluid is contained within the plastic.

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.
