Mercury effects your brain and central nervous system heavily, without this you will lose bodily function and die. Death time will depend on the amount of mercury exposed to.

It wouldn't kill you instantly, but is fairly lethal stuff. Even breathing in particles is enough. It acts as a poison on the body, mainly affecting the liver but also causing blood poisoning.

Not instantly, but mercury is highly carcinogenic (cancer-inducing) and binds with soft metals and organic tissue. If you swallowed it, it would be in you blood stream within the hour, and, depending on the amount, might cause cancer after a while or kill your liver. Either way, swallowing mercury isn't a good idea.
