Am I right in thinking they can predict the times of the tides for 1000's of years into the future?
If this is the case & the icecaps all melt along with all land based ice & snow completely so the oceans will have more volume would this affect these predicted timings?
Is there a way to tell how much extra water there is in the coean by the predictability of the tides?

It might affect the height of the tides; not their timings.
That's about the depth of it 
The action of the Moon in causing the tides is resulting in the Earth's rotation slowing down, previously there were 465 days in a year now 365 (ish) and in future, fewer. Another effect is that the Moon is moving further away. The greater mass of the Earth means that it raises tides in the solid crust of the Moon caising regular moonquakes. All of which undoubtedly cause moonwarming, made worse than previously thought due to those Apollo lunar rovers.
