When you acclimated them, did you drip them? Snails should live for many years.

On the left hand side over there

There is a video on how to acclimate. Watch that, then ask questions if you have any. Reason being, I have a feeling that the snails may have died to being improperly acclimated.

Why did you think they wouldn't need to be acclimated the same as other inverts?
Snails can be very sensitive. Not sure if this was the problem or not, but it certainly could be. Without proper acclimation it is hard to determine a cause, if it was done properly at least you would be able to rule that out. Did you watch the video? I drip all inverts and fish. Not corals though, just float for 10 minutes and put them in.

The beneficial bacteria is on hard surfaces not in the water. I see no reason to put dirty water into your other tank. Maybe someone else can chime in.

Normally yes, however since this 12 gallon is not really established yet I don't think there would be really much benefit.

Sounds like a bristle worm, most likely you have more that you haven't seen. Most of them are a beneficial part of your clean-up-crew.
