Shaking makes it colder (in my experience) and done well can produce this nice, very fine, ice crystal/frosty layer on top.
I like a nice ice-cold gin martini - this works well with the juniper in gin.

Yes it does… That’s called Dilution.

You’re going to drink the entire drink, dilution would only make you less drunk if you were going to drink a fixed volume

It slows the absorption inside the stomach down a tiny amount. So you don’t get drunk as fast. But that is not really important if we are talking about dilution via some additional ice cubes.
