No it will eat a bit of algae but it certainly won't be capable of cleaning the tank. The amount it eats will depend on how long it takes before the turtle kills/eats the algae eater.

Yes. I myself have a coldwater Plec in with my goldfish/orandas.

Just do your research first, as I'm not sure if they will survive in an outside pond.

What do you do when a algae eater dies?

Remove him from the aquarium immediately and dispose of him. Determine what caused his death: was he diseased? If so, you may have to treat your aquarium before replacing him with another algae eater. Or you can simply resign yourself to a bigger job of removing algae from your aquarium without his help.

How do you remove the brownish green sludge from the scenery in a fish tank?

If the substance you are refering to is algae and the scenery is moveable you can simply remove the algae covered items and scrub them in clean water. If you are refering to an algae slime on the substrate then you can remove it simply by syphoning it into a container for disposal. If the algae is on plants then having a few algae eating fish species like plecostomus or mollys in there will help keep it under control. Excess algae is usually caused by too much light for too long.
