Answer 1:

No they don't; crabs can't fit in their beak.

Answer 2:

Some crabs may be too large to fit in the beak of a smaller gull but most gulls do consume crabs. Gulls also eat fish and carrion.

No, they break open the shells and remove the flesh within them.

They do not actually digest the crab's tough outer body / turtle shells.

That's why you would find cracked shells about the sea shore. :)

Seagulls are scavengers and will indeed eat oysters. However, this is not their food of choice and requires more work.

Seagulls love to eat clams. They go to great lengths to pick them up and drop them on rocks to crack them. Seagulls are not picky eaters and will eat almost anything.

Yes they will. Small sea turtles run a gauntlet of predators on their way to the water.
