So, to raise ocean levels by a meter, you'd need an additional 361,000,000 x .001 = 361,000 cubic kilometers of water! Is there even that much ice in the polar caps/glaciers?

There is ten times that much ice just in Greenland. And another ten times that at the south pole. linky
The north pole ice is sea ice so as it melts it won't have much net change in sea level.
