A tank is just a box made out of glass. You could put either salt water or fresh water into this box with the appropriate filter media.
No, fresh water fish cannot survive in salt water, but it doesn't matter what kind of tank (box) they are put in.
note: most fresh water fish like a little bit of salt in their water. It improves their gill function and gives them needed electrolytes. However, this is only a small amount (1 tablespoon per 5 us gallons), so don't overdo it.

That depends completely and entirely on the tank. In a freshwater tank with anything besides lightly stocked algae eaters, I wouldn't go any longer than a couple of days without feeding. Of course, they could survive maybe a few weeks without food, but that would be cruelty.
