A snail could not eat a goldfish; chances are that the goldfish is stuck somewhere on the tank under decorations (if you have any) and may be dead, or it jumped from an opening on the tank which doesn't happen often, but is always possible.

If they spot them they will eat them. Being almost transparent they are extremely hard to spot though. Even the tiny snails are transparent for a while until they grow their hard shell.

Goldfish have no teeth or crushing mechanism to break the shell of a water snail. If you break the shell for them they will happily eat water snails and spit out the bits of shell.

No as the snails shell would protect it so nothing could harm it whilst in the water.

Will a sea snail eat goldfish waste?

Snails are bottom feeders so they will usually eat debris at the bottom of a tank, as well as some algae if they come upon it. They can usually eat leftover flakes from regular fish feeding, but you may want to drop in a few pellets for them here and there to make sure that they have adequate food. If you have catfish or any other bottom feeders, they will eat these as well.
