Immediately, meaning while the original is on the stack? No. Immediately, meaning after the first one has gone into your graveyard? Yes, the Ascension will see Ice sharing a name with the Ice in your graveyard.
If I cast Fire//Ice choosing Fire, then immediately cast another choosing Ice, does Pyromancer Ascensionstill get a counter?
Immediately? No. If you wait until the first one resolves, then yes, as Ice will be in your graveyard. On the stack, it's only whichever half you're casting. Anywhere else, the game sees both halves of a split card.

If you cast the second one after the first has resolved, then yes. When Fire // Ice is in the graveyard its name is both "Fire" and "Ice." If you cast it in response to the first, you get no counter because the first isn't in the graveyard yet.
Yes (assuming you're waiting until the first one is actually in your graveyard).
From the Comp Rules:
708.6a An effect that performs a positive comparison (such as asking if a card is red) or a relative comparison (such as asking if a card's converted mana cost is less than 2) involving characteristics of one or more split cards in any zone other than the stack gets only one answer. This answer is "yes" if either side of each split card in the comparison would return a "yes" answer if compared individually.

I am no longer on MTGS staff, so please don't contact me asking me to do staff things. :|
For some reason Fire/Ice opens in the magiccards info site when you open in a new tab. Gatherer generally recognizes the two halves of split cards independently, so I think if you cardtag each half separately, it should link to Gatherer properly. Fire / Ice <--- EDIT: Yes, this works.

Edit: How on earth do you autocard split cards?

Fire/Ice
without space in betweens and a single slash.

it works if you open it in new tab (Firefox), but not if you click on it.
