Need more info. Be careful, if you add to much sugar the yeast might
die before they convert all the sugar to alcohol.

depends on what you are trying to do.

> will this make the alc higher?
If you add sugar water it will probably start fermenting again. If the
sugar water has a lower SG than the starting SG it will dillute the alcohol.
If it has a higher SG than the starting SG it will possibly give you a higer
alcohol.

If will dilute taste, acidity, etc. The effect on alcohol will be as
described above
> will this hurt my wine at all?
If you need to dilute the taste or acidity, it may help. If not, it may
hurt. It is not a common practice.

In general this is not something that I would recommend. If you kick off
the fermentation again you are back to square one as far as clearing and
aging. You would be better topping with water if it is only a little
topping or with a simular wine if it is more. My favorate way is to just
rack into smaller carboys -- maybe several one gallon sizes and a half
gallon size for the difference. That way I do not need much toping up at
all. If there is a little left over -- well that gets drunk as neuvo wine.
