Increases grip if there is water on the roadway the water can enter the holes in the tread and not interfere as much with the rubber contact with the road.
The ability of a human can tread water varies on many variables. The temperature of the water, a persons body fat, and the will to live. A marine has tread water for 22 hours in warm waters.
Hydroplaning occurs when the tires' tread is unable to expel enough water to maintain a rubber contact patch on the road. The function of tread is to allow the "high" part of the tread pattern to cut through by forcing water (and other road grit) into channels and grooves surrounding the tread blocks. When the water gets too deep for the tread grooves to cut through it and force it between the tread blocks, the "high part" of the tread blocks lose contact with the pavement and looses traction by hydroplaning.

It depends on the individual endurance.
You tread the water quickly with your legs and it propels you out of the water.
The tread of tires is designed to channel the water between the ridges, so that the upper tread stays in contact with the road. The tread gives water someplace to go as the tire rolls. It channels away from the surface of the tire so that the tire will make contact with the road. That is why it is easy to hydroplane on worn tires. The water can't get out from under the tire fast enough and you end up riding on water.
Yes they do. The shape of the tread displaces water in a particular way. The faster you can move water, sand, dirt, etc., the better the performance.
The most useful way to tread water quickly is to keep arms and legs moving. Splashing and kicking will get one tired quickly. It is important to keep breathing stable.
When you tread on the earth, you walk on it. Set one's foot down on top of.
Yes, less tread to channel the water.
