It depends on which species of snake you mean. Some snake venom attacks the prey's blood, preventing it from clotting (the victim bleeds to death internally) - other venom attacks the nervous system, shutting down the victim's breathing reflex (the victim suffocates) - another property is necrosis - where the venom destroys body tissue (vital body functions simply collapse). Snake venom can possess just one, or all three properties - depending on the species !

That depends on the type of snake that bites you ! If it's a non-venomous species - simply wiping the bite area with antiseptic is enough protection against infection. Snake venom potency varies from species to species. Some venom is relatively harmless, yet other venom can kill in seconds !
