Toasters and similar appliances use no power unless they are operating. Even if they are plugged into a mains supply, no current will be drawn unless the bread carrier is lowered to its operating position.
However, it is good practice to disconnect appliances if they are not going to be used for long periods of time.
The energy transformation in an electric toaster is electrical energy being transformed into thermal energy to cook or toast food.

Wasteful energy from a toaster can occur when the toaster is left plugged in when not in use, or when the toaster is set at a higher temperature than necessary for toasting. Additionally, toasters with inefficient insulation or heating elements may also contribute to wasteful energy consumption.
Yes an electric toaster should have a fuse.

Electric energy is traveling to the toaster through the power cord, which is then converted into heat energy in the toaster's heating elements to brown the bread.
One of the first products of the General Electric Company was the electric toaster.
