Can a hermit crab have babies in captivity?

No, unfortunately they can't... Hermit crabs lay their eggs in the ocean, they are born without shells, and eat plankton.

(table salt is harmful to hermit crabs too...)

What are the four things that affect ocean's salinity?

Salinity is affected by temperature of the water, amount of salt per area, how cool it is, and the amount of water per area. If it's hot, the water will evaporate leaving more salt behind. The more salt you add, of course you will have a higher salinity. If it is cold, ice forms and pushes out the salt into the water below. And if you add more water, there will be more water to hold the salt, thus lowering the salinity.
