The type of quicksand you see in the movies is a myth. The way to get out is to lie flat and crawl across the surface.

if you were to get caught in quicksand you first need to calm yourself and let yourself sink until you stip since you can not drown in quicksand your body is too boyount then you work yourself to the edge of where the quicksand is and climb out you may need assistance with that but its not fatal if you are in quicksand

Yes, you will float in quicksand just like you float in water, only the movement is much slower due to the thickened medium.

Its suggested you lie on your back to float but some quicksand will hold you fast and special equipment may be needed to extract you.

According to an episode of Myth Busters, quick sand doesn't exist, so theoretically you'll never have to worry about it.

Yes, that's true. You don't struggle, you just float, since it's basically mud.
