Yes, water (ice) has been found on Mercury. To read more on NASA's findings, check out the related link below.

The water on the planet Mercury exists as ice, at the bottom of craters near the poles. These places are in permanent shadow, so the Sun can't heat them.

There is no LIQUID WATER on Mercury: the lack of an atmosphere, the solar wind, and the vast surface temperature differences prevent the formation of oceans as on Earth.
The surface temperature of Mercury is too hot for water to exist in a liquid state. but there is water in its solide state near the poles. this is due to the fact that even though mercury is very close to the sun mercury still is pretty cold near the poles

Mercury is a rocky planet with a thin atmosphere, so there is very little hydrogen present. Some hydrogen may exist in water ice in the permanently shadowed regions of the planet's poles, but overall the abundance of hydrogen on Mercury is very low compared to gas giants like Jupiter or Saturn.

It is not yet clear, since the MESSENGER orbiting probe has only studied the planet since early 2011. However, reflectivity from the polar regions seems to indicate large quantities of ice, permanently frozen deep inside craters. This would have come from the impacts of icy asteroids and small comets.

Well, they reckon they could find water on Mercury now, in the form of ice, in shadowed crater walls at the poles. So the answer to your question must be yes.

There is no significant amount of water on Mercury.

There is evidence that there may be some water at the Poles, in the form of ice.

Which will sink in mercury lead ice or hydrogen and why?

To answer this question you need to know the densities of the substances Mercury = 13.534 g/cm3 Lead = 11.34 g/cm3 ice = 0.9167 g/cm3 Hydrogen = (which is a gas) = 0.00008988 g/cm3 The rule is that anything that is of lesser density will float in anything that has a greater density. Thus, none of these will sink in mercury.
