Question

Salarino
My wind, cooling my broth,
Would blow me to an ague, when I thought
What harm a wind too great at sea, might do
I should not see the sandy hour-glass run,
But I should think of shallows and of flats,
And see my wealthy Andrew dock'd in sand
Vailing her high-top lower than her ribs
To kiss her burial.
(a) Who is Salarino talking to and where is he?
(b) What do the words 'wind broth' and 'ague' mean in these lines?
