To get a supersaturated solution you can either cool down the solution or let some of the water evaporate. To begin, make some Epsom salt crystals. These are easy to grow and you will begin to see crystals in a couple of hours. Start with one cup of warm distilled water (not boiling).
You can make a supersaturated Epsom salt solution by adding Epsom salt until the solute cannot dissolve anymore.
make a fully saturated solution, then add more. after adding, greatly heat up the solution and stir it to dissolve more salt. when it cools down, you have a supersaturated solution. word of caution, if you put any kind of crystal structure in this solution, then the excess will crystalize back out.
A supersaturated salt solution.
The water solution of Epsom salt is neutral.
Salt will crystalize out.
probably a supersaturated solution if you heat it to dissolve all of the salt
Epsom salt is a chemical compound (magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, MgSO4.7H2O) not a mixture.
A stirred supersaturated solution can be considered as a suspension.

No. While not poisonous, Epsom salt is not sodium chloride; it is magnesium sulfate.
The usual reason for salt in a pool is for chlorination. Epsom salt won't work with salt/chlorine generators. BUT, you can add epsom salt to your water.
The solute can re-form as a solid.
Yes, it can be dumped out of your salt shaker. If you want to grow crystals, simply make a supersaturated solution of salt and hot water, and let it cool.
