Do not submerge the victim in cold water. This can actually cause additional problems. You can however use cool (not cold) compresses. Many emergency rooms use cool milk compresses. The milk creates a protein film that will ease the pain.

Yes, just until it cools off.

Ideally, to reduce the shock and pain, you should soak a burn in warm water first, then cold water.

I have found that it does. You can take a bag full of ice or maybe a chilled can of soda and put it on your sunburn. It does offer some relief from the sunburn.
