only MALE HAMSTERS LICK FEMALE HAMSTERS SCENTS "I KNOW THAT BECAUSE I HAVE A MALE HAMSTER & A FEMALE HAMSTER".
According to my understanding of Hamster anatomy a hamster should be able to lick as their body mechanics would allow them to do so.
I'm sure they do considering the fact when hamsters lick me its wet :) -from A.L.B.
they may nuzzle or lick you.
Hamsters lick your fingers when they're happy with you. They also clean and lick themselves.
Hamsters need salt for the same reason we do, without it our nervous system could not function. It is not mandatory to have a salt lick or salt wheel for your hamster but it would be a good idea. Hamsters live in the wild where they get their minerals from plants and stuff. Hamsters can't always get minerals and the salt they need in their cage that's why its a good idea to get a salt lick or something for your hamster.
Lick what?
Hamsters lick their paws and fur; they clean themselves.

Not usually but it can happen. If they lick you it could happen.

it means they are dirty so they lick their paws and rub everywhere.
If you're nice to your hamster and you cuddle them a lot, after a month or so, they will lick your fingers (this is how they show affection) and crawl onto your hand.
I'm not exactly sure what you met so I made 2 answers. 1) No! Hamsters can be black, white, brown, golden or a mixture of these colours. Of course you could die their fur but that could be harmful to them (they lick their fur instead of having baths) and they could die. 2) Hamsters do not make a large effect on our planet.
Too much salt raises the blood pressure, and remember that a hamster's body is so much more tiny than ours, that a small amount of salt could have a big impact. So don't give it salty foods. Hamsters do need salts, just like we do. But the best way to supply it is with a salt lick from a pet store, this is not table salt, sodium chloride, it is a mineral lick with all sorts of things.
If they are adults, you can identify a male by his testicles. If they're still young, you can tell the sex by the distance between the anus and the urethra: shorter on females, larger on males. Sometimes hamsters lick each others bottoms prior to mating. If you don't want baby hamsters, I suggest you separate them.
