As salt is a mineral rather than from an animal source, all salt is kosher - as are all plants, provided they've been checked for insects which are most definitely notkosher.
The kosher salt you see in shops is used to soak up all traces of blood from meat. Jews are strictly forbidden from consuming blood, and so if meat is to be kosher it must have all blood removed even if it has been produced from an animal killed in the kosher way - as such, kosher salt is sometimes (and more correctly) known as koshering salt. There is no difference between kosher salt and sea salt, other than that kosher salt is likely to have been produced by a Jewish company and as such will have a label proclaiming it to be parve or pareve - ie; it is not made from an animal, contains no ingredients from an animal and as such is neutral, neither kosher nor treif(non-kosher).
To be able to display a kosher or parve label, a food manufacturer's premises must be regularly checked by highly expert rabbis to ensure that the food is in fact as it is claimed, and the rabbi will need to be paid for this - that's why kosher salt tends to cost a little more than sea salt, which in turn explains why some chefs and gastronomers believe it is in some way superior.
Iodized salt contains small traces of iodine, another chemical element, in the salt. It has been added primarily to avoid problems of iodine deficiency in large populations.
