Any ideas, looks like a light brown with dark brown in it. Also was on the bottom of a elegance frag plug that just peeled, so curious if this could’ve caused it?

They are limpets, algae cleaners so they wouldn't have caused the elegance death. I have them around as well.
 
The first things kinda look like sand skaters. Very flat isopods easily mistaken for flatworms. Harmless detritus-eaters, and a fun little novelty.

The things in your sump are limpets. They do have a shell, but it's a shallow cone rather than a spiral. The tiny ones should be harmless- never heard of those little white ones hurting anything.
 
Also any idea on these things in my sump? Look like shell less snails almost,

Shelless snails would be stomatella snails, great hitchhiker. One way to tell would be to pluck one out and on your hand if it moves fast it is a stomatella. Don't grab it by the shell though, they can come off and it will kill it.

Thanks for the info
