Does the the original water become less satuated and the salt spreads back out? or is the orginal water remain satuated and the freah water remain fresh becoming just a mixture?

Depends how the fresh water is added to the bucket. I have seen where water with different levels of salinity can maintain separation if the original solution isn't disturbed greatly. This is due to the density differences between the salt water and the fresh water. This actually occurs naturally in deeper parts of the world's oceans.

You would dissolve salt into the original water, not saturate it.
The fresh water will mix with the salt water.
When it is mixed, the percentage of salt in the the bucket will decrease if you add more water.

the salt spreads out.
