The snail will not move for a while and it wont be in a closed shell. You will definatly be able to see its body which will be greyish instead of pinkish. It will also be laying at the bottom of the tank, half-open, greyish, motionless, and life-less. You will also smell an oder in most cases. Hope this helps!
I assume you mean the Golden Apple snail.
Use that link, it is a picture of an apple snail. I keep them as pets, so you might not know, but they have different sexes unlike most snails.
It depends. To see if they have died, there are 2 factors. 1. The apple snail is completely out of its shell. 2. The apple snail isn't moving and it smells like rotten eggs.
Snails look very frail and pale when they die. These snails also look very limp and wrinkly when they die.

Snails that do not move for a day are definitely not well. An easy way to tell is to pick it up and smell it, and if it smells rotten, then its dead or dieing. Don't inhale too deeply, as rotting snail smell is one of the most disgusting smells you can smell.
