Yes and no. The shape can affect how efficiently the water is being heated and how efficiently the evaporated water can escape a vessel. An almost completely sealed water container will show very little signs of evaporation because any water that evaporates will soon condense back into the container. The evaporation is still happening, it's just not as observable or relevant because the evaporation cannot leave the system efficiently.

Yes. The more surface that is exposed to above-freezing temperatures would affect the rate of melt.
