Call the dealership or a body shop to find out for sure.

I would say so. i can't remember who did this, but someone put a glacier right next to an icelandic and the 02/03 had more of a yellowish or pearlish white to it while the icelandic was more on the bluer side of white. Are you thinking of salvaging some parts off a 2k/2k1?

Try buffing it might make it lighter just you a heavy grit wax on an orbital polisher.

Do you really believe that is possible?

Repaint is the only option.

The difference is noticeable in the sunlight and other lighting conditions, at night you can hardly tell

I always thought Glacier Pearl was more white, than Icelandic. I think Icelandic looks yellower.
