The example sentences:

Why i choose fewer because the room can be counted and less just cannot be counted like milk, sugar, and etc. But less sugar it is possible non-count nouns.
And the example 2 :
I would (a few / a little) salt on my vegetables
I choose a little because salt is setences of count and non-count nouns, if you choose a few this noun count, what a salt can be count? Mybe no. Because a salt not be counted, so you must be a little.
