Yes. It will slow down decaying. This is because a salty environment means that water diffuses out of cells, shivelling them up and killing them. Less bacteria = slower decay rate

No, if a body has started to decay, salt will not preserve it. It can be used on a fresh corpse to preserve it, either through dessication (drying it) or in a brine (pickling it). Of the two dessication is the most long term method of preservation. Pickling usually requires refridgeration as well.
Hope that's what your looking for.

Teeth decay....bodies decompose. So technically....no.
