Is there a good way to transport clean ice to your reservoir and turn it to water? I jammed it all in a storage bin, but it's not melting. I was hoping it would act like gas and leak out.

I basically have a "transformer room" directly above the power generators that is sequestered off to one side or the other, then I feed out of those transformers into various circuits. I have in the past done a "ladder system" with two tile floors and the transformers oriented vertically. This only works if you put the room on the left side of your base and it takes up a ton of space.

Has anyone messed around with doors to keep dupes locked in a specific section of the map, so that only they do a particular task? Maybe have a common dining room where food is kept, with the doors locked against certain dupes leaving through them; might cut down on the problem of someone running all the way across the map, mining out a single space, then running back to do something else.

Priorities are your friend. I think if you bump up the priority on the fridge that dupes will sooner bring food to it than other tasks. At least I'm pretty sure that's how it works with containers, so it's likely to be the same with fridges and the like. This also works with coal generators when you want them to be filled before other tasks.
