No although you do need salt and water to make taffy no one knows for sure where the name salt water taffy originated. Here is a link to the most popular story surrounding the name.

Yes. If you read the box it is the main ingredient after sugar. This is why it is normally made near beach resorts, island shops (Cape Cod...). I think today the salt water is not ocean water but a mixture of salt and water.

Yes, in the "traditional" taffy. However, the name has more to do with the fact that it is sold in beach towns
