A "gilt" is an object which has had a thin layer of metal applied to it for decorative reasons.

In the case of this quote, "gilt" is probably referring to the layer of metal itself.

Yes. Although I'm not sure on the literature part, but in the movies (extended edition) he meets his end. How? When the fellowship meet up at thrashed and flooded region of Isengard and it's tower, Orthanc, Gandalf and the others ask Saruman for Sauron's next move. After Gandalf breaks Saruman's staff, Theoden notices Grima Wormtongue when he comes up from behind Saruman atop the tower and reminds him that he was a man of Rohan, pleading him to come down and be free of Saruman's control. Saruman strikes at Grima, angering him. Just as Saruman agrees to provide the information, Grima takes out his knife and plunges it into Saruman's back.
