The basic answer to all of your questions is:

Â*Â* "Water is incompressible"

IIRC, it actually is but it takes a really large amount of energy. If
the sun were 100% converted to energy, it still wouldn't be enough.


I doubt that.
And what volume of water compressed by how much?

Plutonium "fission" atom bombs originally (and probably still) work on
"implosion". Explosives around the plutonium reduce the volume of the
solid metal sphere to 1/2 the original volume (so the entire sphere is
suddenly "critical").
