Adding any substance to any other substance will increase the volume of said substances. If you put marbles in a cup of water, clearly, the water level would rise. Similarly, adding salt also increases the total amount of substance in the cup that takes up space. Even though it may not be visible, it is still there, as one would find out upon tasting it. Salt water has a greater density than fresh water because salt ions dissolved in water bind to the water molecules. Adding a fixed volume of salt to non-saturated water will increase the water's volume by a lesser amount.

Dissolving salt into water increases the density of the water. As a liquid becomes more dense, less dense items rise and eventually float.

When you add a salt to water and the container feels cold, yes, an endothermic reaction is taking place.

Due to decrease in temperature, the volume of the solution also go down.

You reduce the volume of the container, displacing it.
