Will one hermit crab dig down to try and eat another molting hermit crab or is it safe down there in the substrate?
No, at least that has never happened with my crabs. When your crabs go down to molt the others will mostly leave them alone, but when your crabs finish molting and come up their skin is still a little soft. The problem with that is that their skin smells sweet and it's still soft so the other crabs might be tempted to attack them considering that they are carnivores. What I do with my crabs is let them molt and when they come up I put them in a separate cage for like a week and let them live alone until their skin has hardened.

Hermit crabs excrete their waste by going in their shells and scooping it out, usually in their water bowls, no matter how many times you change the water the hermit crabs will still scoop it out in the water. Hermit crabs make so little liquid that you will never find it.
