Snow layers can be placed on top of each other. When 8 of them are being stacked together, the snow block only has a hit-box of a half slab. I expect it to function like a normal full block.

Confirmed for 0.15.0. (Tested on Windows 10.) I'm not sure if this is intentional or not. In the Java edition, every size of snow layer has a different hitbox depending on its size.
This bug has been reported to our internal bug tracker for further testing and a fix. It is scheduled to be fixed in one of the future updates (no specific date can be provided).
I haven't been to places with snow,
but sinking in snow in Minecraft sounds unnatural to me.
If you stack 9 snow layers together, the snow lump will act as a full block.
