The only dumb question is the one not asked. Brackish water is a mixture of salt and fresh water. You can make water brackish by adding marine salt, not freshwater aquarium salt. There are some very good brackish water articles and instructions at: http://homepage.mac.com/nmonks/aquaria/index.html
If that link doesn't work for you try doing a search for brackish water info by Neale Monks

Technically,yes, but it depends on the specific gravity of the water. Most aquarium salt users only add a teaspoon per 5 gallons,and this probably wouldn't qualify as brackish.

Yes. Brackish water usually occurs in nature where a river meets the ocean/sea.
There are lakes that are brackish too.

not really. u would need alittle bit more aquarium salt to make it brackish.
freshwater is 0 on a hydrometer, saltwater should be 1.020-1.025
brackish is 1.002 so you will need quite a bit of salt to make it 1.002.
