Not if the tin is grounded. 

If not grounded, the capacity charge is taken care of by touching the tin
before touching it with the part, just like when installing a part in a pc
board. 

As I said, use the same protocol as if installing a part in a pc board.

That's no guarantee of anything.  It doesn't address the issue of 
instantaneous static dissipation from the component to the muffin tin 
itself (which has capacity to its surroundings and acts as it's own 
charge sink).  Reread Gary's comment about surface conductivity.
