Yes they do often eat seagulls. In fact the whales can vomit up the fish they have swallowed so that the regurgitation may float on the water and attract a seagull - the whale then rises from under the water and chomps its jaws on the gull to take it down into the water where the whale will drown the gull before it is swallowed.

Yes. Killer whales (orcas) are known to eat seals.

They also eat other marine mammals such as sea lions, walruses and even smaller whales. They also feed on birds, sea turtles, penguins, polar bears, reptiles, sharks, octopus and, in some cases, even land mammals, judging by the investigations of animal remains in killer whales' stomachs.
Yes they do.
