A spill or a small leak that would resolve itself inland instead stays damp long enough for growth to establish, often inside a wall where nobody sees it until the smell shows up.

Almost never, and this is the most common well-intentioned mistake here. Outdoor coastal air frequently carries more moisture than your conditioned indoor air, so opening up the house feeds humidity back into the structure and works directly against the drying. Keep it closed and let the dehumidifiers do their job.

Indirectly and reliably. Salt accelerates corrosion and degradation of exterior envelope components, window flashing, fasteners, stucco, and roof penetrations, so coastal homes develop entry points faster than inland ones.
