If it is sediment a skimmer will clear in 1 day. If it is microbial a UV will clear in 1 day.

Though it will resolve itself in a matter of 2-3 days if it is just sediment. If it is microbial it will take probably a week or so.

The olite is fine unless you are planning on high flow rate within tank, even then u just need proper placement of power heads. I have fine sand that's stirs up when I'm cleaning the glass but it doesn't make water cloudy. I find that water clears up by morning after adding sand esp. with a power filter that contains floss. I would add salt as soon as you know u won't be draining the water. Personally I like saltwater, live rock, then sand that way you can guarantee a solid base for you rock work as the rock should sit on the glass for stability esp. if your critters like to dig.

No they dont. Are you planning any corals and no it shouldn't cloud up. I disturb mine with no problems

Patience is a virtue with this.
If it's cloudy and you still just have freshwater I would disturb the bed as much as you can and siphon as much water and junk as you can out. Fill back up and repeat as needed, then get it filled with saltwater.
