For any solid or liquid phase, if there is available volume above it, there will be a non-zero vapor pressure at equilibrium. The presence of other gases has very little effect on the value of this vapor pressure.
On your phase diagram, the y-axis represents the total external pressure, which can be from a gas phase or mechanical (eg a piston pushing ...

If you put frozen water in a vacuum at a temperature below the normal freezing point, water will sublimate until the pressure in the vessel reaches the vapor pressure (which is below 1 atm at that temperature). At this point, water will deposit and sublimate at the same rate
However, if you take the same sample and put it outside, the direction of the ...
