This may seem like a daft question, but can someone actually confirm
to me that selecting the ICM box in my printer driver will make use
the embedded profile in the original image? Or is it the case that
the embedded profile is lost and Windows makes the assumption that
it's sRGB?

I think checking that box makes windows use one of the profiles associated
with that printer. But I could be wrong.

The ICM profile is for colour matching to your monitor, to help get
output that matches what you see on the screen. It has little to do with
EXIF or PictBridge image data.
