This is land ice, not sea ice.

It will definitely overflow.
If you fill the glass then the water will reach the very top of the glass. The ice will be sticking up above the edge of the glass, and when the ice melts the water will overflow the glass.
But what does that have to do with this discussion? Nothing. We are talking about ice that if melted would raise sea levels.It’s all hysteria, but your example is not helpful.

Now, put a cylinder of ice the diameter of your glass and 25% taller than the glass and tell me if your counter is wet.
The principals of volume, density, and buoyancy are very simple and simply prove that even a large volume of floating glaciers melting will absolutely raise the mean water surface elevation of the world's lakes and oceans. It's simply indisputable.
The question is, "How much will it raise mean sea level?" The answer is somewhere between cataclysmic and insignificant.

Huh, the level of the water rises.
Congrats, you played yourself.
