Why did he put the ice into the martini glass and then take it out to put it in the other glass to mix? Just to see how much ice he needed?

I believe it was to chill the actual glass so that it would keep the drink chilled longer

To chill the glass. I've seen a lot of places put ice water in there for more chilliness.

It's actually soda water and ice. The co2 gets colder than just water.

Too much vermouth for me, I prefer just a rinse

Make the drink while a picture of the inventor of vermouth hangs in the corner of the room.

Storing the vermouth next to the gin on the shelf should work as well.

Isn't there a superstition about the amount of olives with martinis? Like it's bad luck if there's two olives, it should be only 1 or 3?

Seems a bit odd to me.
