Bonus question: would this make a new continent?
No, it would not. There already are waterways splitting North America into multiple large pieces.
Nope, the continental plate would not be separated by a river flowing over top.
Continents are not defined by tectonic plates, for example Eurasia is separated by an imaginary line. There is no universally agreed upon definition of what exactly earths continents are either.
