Will it die

You had better do water changes to keep this as low as possible, and get your hands on some live bacteria from a mature tank as soon as possible to take care of the problem - these should only be added to a mature tank and never cycled with. Always start off the tank with just live rock.
Yes, they will die - you are keeping a difficult and advanced aquarium and you must absolutely keep things pristine.
You may also be interested in knowing that a seahorse can latch onto an anemone, unaware that it will become a meal. Yours is a weaker anemone and more likely safe, but not a chance I would take.

I emailed your second question already to copperhead, he's the right person to ask about all these things, he has a hell of a lot of knowledge about marine tanks

refer to your lab set, dont have one. get one. until its completely self sustained, you will have to help it out a bit. the levels could just be your water supply.
