Reactions of tin (IV) iodide with potassium iodide and water
If iodide is oxidized to iodine (the cause of the yellow color), then something needs to be reduced in turn. Potassium is already in its most stable oxidation state (+I), so tin will be reduced, from $\ce{Sn}$(IV) to $\ce{Sn}$(II).
When acetone is added, the yellow color of $\ce{I2}$ will slowly disappear as iodoacetone and $\ce{HI}$ are formed in an acid-catalyzed reaction (source):

$$\ce{SnI4 + 2H2O -> SnO2 + 4HI}$$
$$\ce{SnO2 + 2HI -> I2 + SnO + H2O}$$
With $\ce{KI}$, a yellow-brown solution of $\ce{KI3}$ will be formed, which contains the triiodide anion $\ce{I3-}$.
$$\ce{I2 + KI -> KI3}$$
When acetone is added, the yellow color of $\ce{I2}$ will slowly disappear as iodoacetone and $\ce{HI}$ are formed in an acid-catalyzed reaction (source):
$$\ce{(CH3)2CO + I2 -> CH3C(O)CH2I + HI}$$
