I don't know if diamonds spawn less in mountains and extreme hills biomes or not, but I always seem to get extreme-hilly unlucky (sorry) with finding diamonds in those biomes. The other day I spent hours strip mining a huge square shape underground underneath the extreme hills biome and mined many thousands of blocks until I finally found 1 diamond ore. Usually mining like that in any other biome for that period of time straight would get me at least 24 diamonds, enough to make a full armour set and I was using an efficiency V pick with unbreaking III and mending so I didn't ever have to stop to repair it or anything.

Now that it can snow again in snowy biomes, water can indeed freeze to ice after long enough exposure to snowfall. See the 0:15 mark of the linked video for an example.
Animal spawning is determined by your seed.
As a test, I used this seed: -9057352651117540831 which is known to produce a lot of horses near spawn. I generated the world twice, offline and online. The results were the same, not just for the horses, but for all passive mobs.

Online:
The groups of animals are generated in both instances.

The minecraft wiki states that "Diamond ore attempts to generate 1 time per chunk in veins of sizes 1 to 10[2], from altitudes 0 to 15, in all biomes." When mining I like to mine in mountain biomes as you may come across emeralds however diamonds can be found everywhere. I begin by creating a root corridor on y axis:12 mine a 1x3 tunnel forward approximately 20 blocks out from this one then return. I then miss two blocks and mine down another 20 blocks etc. I find that once you can see a block isn't diamond there's no reason to mine it. When using this method I like to have a large stack of gates so they can be placed in each corridor to avoid getting lost as I grows.
