It would become an igneous rock. What type of igneous rock would depend on what it mixed with while molten, and if it solidified at or under the surface.
When granite melts and then solidifies, it becomes igneous rock. This process of melting and solidifying is known as the rock cycle. The resulting igneous rock may have a different texture or composition compared to the original granite.

When a rock melts and turns into magma, and then solidifies, it typically transforms into igneous rock. If the magma cools and solidifies beneath the Earth's surface, it forms intrusive igneous rock, such as granite. If it erupts onto the surface and cools quickly, it becomes extrusive igneous rock, like basalt.
The two types are extrusive igneous rock, which solidifies from magma on the surface, and intrusive igneous rock, which solidifies below the surface. Basalt is extrusive, granite is intrusive.
It melts into liquid (water)

Granite is already an igneous rock. If the granite simply melts and re-solidifies it will become granite again. If it melts and is erupted from a volcano, it will form rhyolite. If it melts and mixes with magma of a different composition, then it could form any number of igneous rocks.

When metamorphic rock melts from pressure and heat, then the product of that melt solidifies, it is considered an igneous rock.

No. If a rock melts and then re-solidifies the result is counted as igneous, not metamorphic.
intrusive igneous rock eg Granite
No. Magma is already at least partially molten. Mineral crystallize when magma solidifies.
Metamorphic rocks underground melt to become magma. When a volcano erupts, magma flows out of it. As the lava cools it hardens and becomes igneous rock.
No. If a rock melts and then re-solidifies, then by definition the resulting rock is igneous.
I'm pretty sure it is called condensation
