ICBM Question

Suppose for whatever reason, you needed to launch an ICBM and try to
hit a target in orbit? Does the typical silo based ICBM,(I assume
that sub launched missiles would have shorter ranges) have enough fuel
to reach orbit? Or rather what is the max altitude that you could
send an ICBM and then have it detonate?
EMP Effects, are they caused by the nuke itself or the nuke’s
detonation in the atmosphere? At whatever max alt the nuke reaches is
there enough atmosphere to generate an EMP effect on the area below
it?
In your typical ‘Aliens invade Earth’ senario, you have a fleet of
alien warships in orbit
And have somehow become disabled to where they don’t have shields up,
unable to manuver out of the way or shoot the missiles down, would
that be a good idea to try or really despirate thing to do or just a
really bad idea?
