Pianos have strings inside that can be tuned. But no piano player ever retunes a piano mid-performance. So in a strict sense of the word, as it applies to performance, a piano cannot change the pitch of a note. It is not a string instrument where a struck note can be "bent" up or have vibrato applied. Keyboards have a pitch wheel that can be used to artificially bend notes up or down, but not pianos. The volume of a note in piano playing is determined by how hard the key is struck, which dictates how hard the hammer strikes the strings inside.

Does an ambulance siren's pitch really change - what if the ambulance was stationary?

Modern electronic sirens change amplitude and pitch. Older sirens produced tones that changed in amplitude (volume) but were changed in pitch by their motion relative to the listener: increasing in frequency as they approached and decreasing in frequency when they moved away. This is called the Doppler Effect.
