Goldfish should never be kept in a bowl. It is cruel. Back in the days of ignorance like 200 years ago, people did not know what a fish needs in order to live, and so one can excuse them for doing the wrong thing. In this day and age of knowledge, there is no excuse for keeping a fish under those cruel conditions. You really must follow the basic rules of sucessfull fishkeeping if you want to keep fish succesfully. The basic rules are . :- 1 inch of fish must have at least 1 gallon of water. (a goldfish is a 10 inch fish so needs at least 10 gallons of water.):- Every tank must have a permanently running 'cycled' filter. :- Every tank must have at least 50% of its water replaced every week.

The fresh water part .... Goldfish apparently come from Asia, however they don't live in the ocean because goldfish are fresh water fish.
There are both saltwater and fresh water goldfish so it doesnt really matter which. Saltwater ones can't live in fresh water and vice versa.
A goldfish.
no
fresh water fish
Yes
yes!
goldfish live in fresh water
possibly because brackish is a mixture of fresh and salt water and goldfish cant live in salt water so yeah most likely.
Unchlorinated water, such as bottled distilled water is best.
