No, hermit crab mites are specific to hermit crabs and will not harm you or your pets.
yes
if they are black and tiny they are probably mites they are usually on the crab too
Those are probably mites.
Hermit crab mites are like head lice for crabs. They are small wingless insects that crawl around inside the shells of hermit crabs. And, just like lice, they have nothing to do with how clean or dirty the habitat or crabs are. Mites can hide out in hermit crab toys, bedding and even food.
Land hermit crabs do not typically carry diseases that can be transmitted to a human, but they can carry mites- which can transfer to other pets and crabs. To get rid of mites, simply dip your hermit crab into a bowl of room temperature water for a few seconds with their opening facing upward. The mites should float out.

They are somewhat common depending on the habitat you have available for your hermit crabs. Mites are generally attracted to moist, humid areas. But they won't be to much of a problem as long as you clean your tank regularly and bathe your crabs weekly
People do not get ear mites.
Not to people. Plants yes.
