Yes. All rivers are fresh water, but those that have Estuaries are then changed from Fresh to Tidal where the Sea has influence, but this is only restricted to the part of the estuary that is tidal. In rivers that are affected by modern Industries, Fresh may not be the appearance of the water, due to Pollution, which I suspect the Question alludes to, but the water, if it isn't salty, is essentially described as 'Fresh'.

For the most part, yes. The closer to the ocean, the saltier it gets. Around the Delaware Memorial Bridge is where it becomes mostly fresh.
