Winter tires with studs are the best for driving in snow.
I assume you are referring to the tread. High grip will have a more aggressive tread design used in off-road conditions or in deep snow. They are called off-road tires or snow tires. The difference is in the tread design.

In Canada, studded snow tires are typically required to be removed in the spring, usually by March or April.

Yes. But it will likely only melt a thin film of water, which will freeze and become ice the minute the tire stops spinning. Also, by stepping on the gas and spinning the tires rather than ease your way out of the snow, the tires have less traction. Reason is when the tires spin, you have kinetic friction between the tire and the snow. If the tire is rolling over the snow, you have static friction. Static friction is greater than kinetic friction. Point being: don't spin your tires if you want to avoid getting stuck.
NO ! - they may seem like it, but can come off on turns.
If ice remains on the inside of the wheel you may experience symptoms of an unbalanced tire including heavy vibration at highway speeds. It should go away when the offending ice melts or falls off.
Bikes with fat tires are designed for off-road or rough terrain riding. The fat tires provide better traction, stability, and shock absorption, making it easier to navigate through challenging surfaces like sand, snow, or mud.
Because if you don't then the tyres would wear off and would soon come off the car
