The simple and unassuming potato will absorb salt as well as scorching flavor issues but will not leave a distinct flavor as to change the original creation.

To reduce the salt content in your soup, you can use low-sodium broth, add more vegetables or herbs for flavor, and avoid adding additional salt during cooking.
Yes. In soup it should make no difference what kind of salt you use, since it all dissolves anyway. But because table salt is finer, you get more of it in a given volume, so you have to reduce the quantity a bit. If you're not comfortable doing that, then stick to kosher salt, or some similar coarse-grained salt.
When you mix distilled water with salt and soup, the result is dilute soup.

Yes. Peeling the potato and halving it will speed the process.
Dissolving table salt in a bowl of soup is a physical change because it doesn't alter the chemical composition of the salt or soup. The salt molecules simply spread out within the soup due to the intermolecular forces between the salt and water molecules.
To reduce the saltiness in ham soup, you can try diluting it with unsalted broth or water, adding more vegetables or potatoes to absorb the salt, or balancing the flavor with a touch of sweetness or acidity from ingredients like sugar, vinegar, or lemon juice.
Adding sugar would only make a dish sweeter and not reduce the salt content. If the food is a soup or stew, adding potato will thicken the soup and absorb some of the salt. However, adding a liquid, such as water or dairy products, will increase the proportion of liquid to salt, therefore thinning out the salty taste.
Because a teaspoon of salt has a lot of salt minerals in it, and if you put liquid in the stew or soup, the salt minerals will separate into individual particles, that will flow to every part of the soup, and the taste comes out.
To reduce the saltiness of any oversalted dish simply peel a potato and let it simmer in the dish for about 20 minutes after this time remove the potato and it will have soaked up the salt.
True. In fact, if you have inadvertently added too much salt to the soup, adding a few potatoes may absorb enough salt to make the soup palatable. Plus, potato soup is a good thing in itself.
I prefer the Russet for that, but then I also NEVER salt soup. The diners can do that themselves, if they feel it needs it.
