I don't think you can swim with a snorkel. You should ask an official if it is allowed. I personally wouldn't because the snorkel creates a lot of drag and will slow you down.

A snorkel is just a breathing tube. It carries air down to the person underwater so he can breathe. It has a valve that closes if the air intake at the top goes underwater.

Do you need to know how to swim to snorkel?

Technically, no. A snorkel is merely a breathing apparatus that allows one to breathe while one's face is below water. You could use a snorkel while walking or crawling in shallow water. Still, it'd be a far better idea not to be in water deep enough to snorkel in without some ability to swim.

Where can you get a great leakproof mask and snorkel for swimming laps?

If you intend to do the crawl stroke, I find the mask to have too much water resistance to swim forward AND turn the head to breathe. You will find the head will just not turn. If you do not intend to turn the head (and use the snorkel instead), the mask may still have more forward resistance than you would like, tending to feel like someone is pushing the mask downward toward your chin. I would recommend goggles with or without a snorkel. It is possible to use goggles with a snorkel.

Why is the practical length of a snorkel limited?

The longer the snorkel the harder it is - presuming you would swim at a greater depth - to draw air through it. A consideration would also be the difficulty of handling an undoubtedly unwieldy tube at longer lengths.
