Trumpet snails do not eat plants. They're carnivorous and scavengers, so something else, like your goldfish are eating the plants or you have pond snails. They are notorious for eating and damaging plants.

You can move them in there, they'll reproduce like bunnies on Viagra but they don't eat waste unless it's uneaten food.

You can feed them to your dwarf puffers though some people think they will break the puffers teeth, I've heard otherwise so you might be taking a chance. IMO it won't harm your puffers but I'm just stating my opinion.

Malaysian trumpet snails don't eat plants, so they are not your culprit and i have heard their shells can be a bit too hard for puffers to stomach.
