You can get cyclocross tires that are likely to fit your bike fine (I had some on an old Trek 420 with no problems) and some of them do have pretty aggressive tread patterns. They will help you go in the snow/slush, but for slick ice I don't think anything except for studded tires will help much.
I'm also not sure I'd recommend any of this for a learner... it really takes your whole body (lots of core) and a smooth pedal stroke to keep a bike up when it is very slippery.
