They probably would if the UK doesn't take it. And the Pope most likely would still stay in Rome because he is still the Bishop of Rome (the Pope is the Pope because he is the Bishop of Rome), and also because leaving would most likely be seen as recognition of the Italian invasion and annexation, which the Pope OTL refused to recognize until 1929.

It does leave the question of "what happens to the Papal States if they somehow own Malta and yet are overthrown in Rome" since I doubt the Great Powers will just let Italy seize Malta.

I would assume the situation in Italy plays out mostly the same as OTL, with Pope remaining Prisoner in the Vatican unless and alternate peace agreement like the OTL Lateran Treaty comes about earlier. Malta is probably just seized by the Great Power with the strongest navy in the region (I assume the UK if they still have Gibraltar and interests in Egypt, especially the Suez, otherwise most likely France, or perhaps a conference of Great Powers returns it to the Knights to prevent the each other from having it.)

After World War I, as a gesture of thanks towards the Sammarinese volunteers that fought for Italy, Rome gifts the newly gained island of Arbe/Rab (the alleged birthplace of San Marino's namesake saint) to the landlocked microstate.

Do you mean Liechtenstein? AFAIK it was offered to the Prince of Liechtenstein OTL, but it wouldn't be part of the country but privately held by the Prince similar to the Congo Free State was by Leopold II. Or do you mean that Monaco somehow buys it TTL? If so, could Monaco afford it?

Okay... how about an alt-1815 where the King of Saxony retains most of the Duchy of Warsaw, and Danzig is carved off as a freistadt under the joint protection of Saxony and Prussia, to provide access to the sea for the Poles?

If this were to happen, I think Russia would demand a warm water port in exchange, which the British wouldn't be eager to do.
