No, Salt water doesn't directly kill people. If you swim in salt water, it cannot kill you. If you drink some salt water you'll be fine.

However, if you ONLY drink salt water it can kill you, because your body will use more water than it gains to try to flush the excess salt out of your system.

More than likely not. If we are talking about sea water, definitely not. Bacteria is known to survive even in the Dead Sea (the saltiest body of water in the world).
