Yep, there is normally always snow in Yosemite in various places in the park. In fact, Yosemite always has ice because there are two active glaciers in Yosemite National Park currently. Although, usually the snow disappears from the valley in the spring and wildflowers start to take over the valley.

Two days may be enough for you to explore most of the valley if you wake up early enough. A day could be used to explore Glacier Point and Mariposa Grove. You may also want to spend a day in the north area of the park. Overall, if you want to hit more parts of the park, you could stay as long as a week. Or, you can hike the John Muir Trail for a few weeks.

Yes, several. When there is a good snow pack in the winter they are full and in running in the spring, but this year our snow pack is very small so the falls will not be as spectator as they could be. Bridal Vail falls and Yosemite Falls are two of the ones you hear about and see pictures of when people write/speak/take pictures of Yosemite. The park is a wonderful natural resource.
