No, ice does not sink under a cup. Ice typically floats in liquids because it is less dense than the liquid it is in, such as water. So when you place ice in a cup of water, it will float on the surface rather than sink.

Does a cup of water with ice stay colder than a cup of water with no ice?

Coldness is a lack of heat energy, so, if you take two cups of water under the same conditions, add ice to one of them, and add the same amount of room-temperature water to the other, the cup with ice will have less heat energy. However, the environment around it will eventually heat up that cup, so they will both be the same temperature.
