I haven't heard of a snail ever hurting a fish...

Only some fish eat snails and some fish compete with snails for aglae in your tank. Search online to learn what type of fish you have but my guess is they will be fine.
You may also need to buy algea pellets to start growth in your tank the first month so your snail has food. after you see it feeding happily on the glass you can discontinue the pellets the water should have a very faint green cast and you will have no need to clean the tank walls.
Coli Loaches are VERY fond of snails and will eat them, these are sold as bottom feeders and have a striped tan and black appearance. If you want to add fish in the future know your tank size and what fish you have currently so a reputable store can help you select compatible fish.

Yes they can live together. They will not harrn each other and if you get a pair of guppies they young will eat something produced by the apple snail called infusorior.

If you structure your aquarium properly, abiding for the natural habitats of both the fish and the snail, There should be no problem at all.
