Platypus venom would certainly be enough to kill a snake - but the snake could well inject its own venom in the platypus at the same time.
Milking a snake is the term used for getting venom out of a living snake. It is done by hooking the snake's fangs over the edge of a glass as if it was biting something and pressing on the venom glands. The venom is then used to create anti-venoms and in medical research.
Yes, snake venom is used to create antivenom, which is a medication used to treat snakebite envenomation. Antivenom works by neutralizing the toxic components of the snake venom in the body, helping to prevent further negative effects from the snake bite.
