If I'm not wrong its bladder snail or something. I would say that it would eat your plants but not to a very big extent. You could always get things like assassin snails to eat (my favourite), or other parameter suitable plants.

That taugey like thing seems to be part of the moss. If I remember correctly is the equivalent of a flower in a sense, or a different generation of the moss. My botany is rusty do pardon that.

Need a better side profile of the snail to tell but looks like a common pond snail.
Assassin snail is slow to breed and relatively safe although some folks reported that they lost shrimps to them.

The sprout-like thing on the mosses are sporophytes.

Planet inverts said should be safe.

For a start, manually remove whenever you spot them and you should be able to curb their population. Since you have shrimps in your tank, you would probably have to use methods other than chemical treatments.
