Water ALWAYS moves by osmosis from a low salt concentration towards a higher concentration of salt. If the solution is hypertonic, it has a lot of salt (or other solutes). Meaning the water on the other side of the membrane must be hypotonic compared to the water on the outside of the membrane if it is to move out. In your case, the water MUST move out and the cell will shrink (wilt).
In an isotonic solution the cell would be unchanged. In a hypertonic solution water would flow out of the cell and it would shrink. In a hypotonic solution water would flow into the cell and it would expand like a balloon and possibly rupture.
A 2% salt solution is hypotonic compared to a 4% salt solution because it has a lower concentration of salt. In osmosis, water flows from hypotonic to hypertonic solutions, so in this case, water would flow from the 2% solution to the 4% solution to try to equalize the concentrations.
A hypersonic solution refers to a solution that has a higher concentration of solute compared to another solution. On the other hand, a hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solute compared to another solution. Hypertonic solutions will cause water to flow out of a cell, while hypotonic solutions will cause water to flow into a cell.
It would shrivel up and die, because water would flow out of the cell.
The word 'dilute' is an inexact term. Hypotonic (less solute) and hypertonic (more solute) and isotonic (the same amount) are relative terms. What they mean is that a solution will either have less, more, or the same concentration of a given solute than the reference substance. It is important in cells because a hypertonic solution (such as salt water) will try to pull free water out of the cell, where the concentration of salt is less. A hypotonic solution will cause water to soak into the cells. Either situation may be undesirable. For osmosis, water will flow across a semipermeable membrane in the direction of the pressure gradient. It will always flow from the hypotonic solution into the hypertonic solution. Plants absorb water by creating a hypertonic state inside the root.
Pressure should be applied to the hypertonic solution to prevent osmotic flow of water across the membrane. This helps to balance the concentration gradient and prevent excessive water movement into the hypertonic solution.
In an isotonic solution the cell would be unchanged. In a hypertonic solution water would flow out of the cell and it would shrink. In a hypotonic solution water would flow into the cell and it would expand like a balloon and possibly rupture.
They diffuse into one another until the point where they reach equilibrium. This point, however cannot be predicted from what you gave nor is it any more likely to be in favor of the hypertonic, the hypotonic, or your idea of isotonic.
If a cell is placed into a hypotonic solution, the water will flow into the cell causing it to swell and possibly lyse. If a cell is placed into a hypertonic solution, the water will flow out of the cell causing it to crenate. So hemolysis occurs when the red blood cells lyse.

No. Everything below 0.9% of NaCl is hypotonic and every solution with concentration over 0.9% is hypertonic solution. Isotonic solution (to blood) is the one that has 0.9% of NaCl, or some other concentration of another compound.

Hypertonic for human blood fluid means that more than 0.9% NaCl is present (as only solute).This is 9 grams per liter divided by 58.5 grams per mole NaCl or 0.154 moles Na+ AND 0.154 moles Cl- per liter = total of 0.308 moles dissolved particles as hypertonicity.The same hypertonicity is reached with 0.308 / 3 = 0.103 moles CaCl2 per liter (3 particle ions per molecule)
The water will flow out of the cell into the hypertonic solution and the red blood cell will crenate (crush).
A hypertonic solution is less concentrated compared to the cytoplasm of the animal cell. When an animal cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water diffuses across the selectively permeable cell membrane in an attempt to form an equilibrium between the two liquids. If the solution is hypertonic enough compared to the cell's cytoplasm, the cell would swell and could possibly explode.
