The primary difference between saltwater crabs and freshwater crabs lies in their physiological adaptations to their respective environments. Saltwater crabs have specialized gills that allow them to extract oxygen from the water, while freshwater crabs have modified gills that are better suited for extracting oxygen from air. Additionally, saltwater crabs have a higher tolerance for salinity levels, whereas freshwater crabs require a lower salinity environment to survive. These adaptations enable each type of crab to thrive in their specific habitat.
Yes.
Land Hermit Crabs consume fresh water. It is suggested by some pet stores to have two watering dishes. One for bottled fresh water and the other for bottled salt water. The hermit crab can choose between the two depending upon the nutrients it feels it needs. If you do not have salt water- that is fine, it is not necessary.

Usually at the bottom of the sea.... they are bottom-dwellers from saltiest water to the almost fresh water of the back bays.
