It wont hurt them the concentration of salt in a saline pool is about the same as that in tears which is very low. besides there are a lot of places where ducks swim in sea water or brackish water any way. My brother dog drinks his water exlusively from the salt swimming pool and has gotten quite old so far.
The salt in a saline pool will help you float, so it probably is easier to swim in.
So long as the water is kept up to the filtration system there is no problem with doing this.
Yes
He should pay to have the pool emptied, cleaned and refilled with the saline. That is what he is responsible for if he made the mistake. The owner could take him to court over it and win.
If you have a saline purification system on the pool, the tiny bubbles are the hydrogen by-product of the saline process. If the pool is not saline, bubbles must be coming from an air leak pool probably located on the suction side of the pump (leaf trap lid, for example).
Yes you can. Start with 1/4 the normal amount that a salt pool would use.
Most of the time if you take the ducklings from the mother they will see you as their mother and follow you around so it might be hard to put them back with her and make them stay with her. So I don't know if I would remove them from her or not You are best off leaving the ducklings with the hen rather than removing them. Especially if you want mom to do the raising of the ducklings.
Yes, it is "OK". Alcohol causes dehydration so it is usually beneficial.
No. No more than swimming in the ocean will.

I assume that you understand that 'salt' alone will do nothing for your pool and that you require the Saline System equipment. Salt is added initially andthereafter only top up salt is required (maybe a couple of 50 pound bags per year, on average). A saline pool requires everything that any other pool requires, with ONE EXCEPTION. The saline system will produce the sanitizer, so you do not need to add any sanitizing/oxidizing chemicals such as 'pool chlorine', algaecide or 'shock' chemicals. Everything else is the same and must be maintained as per normal pool care recommendations (pH, alkalinity, conditioner, calcium hardness etc). A salt water pool converts the salt in the pool electronically to produce chlorine gas which is then dissolved into the water, so aside from making sure the salt content in the pool is OK the treatment is about the same. Except you don't have to put chlorine in
