I believe that the answer to your creature question is no, it doesn't die.

On the enchantment Indestructability, the rule text clearly states that damage does not destroy indestructable creatures.

The only downside of said 0/0 indestructable creature is when trample is introduced to the situation, and the creature isn't beefed up.

oh im fine with it not being able to do/take any damage, its just a bad thing if my lands are all dead. i played a game earlier today that we decided that both of our lands were all dead, so the game was very boring, i ended up winning because i had a bunch of 2/2s tokens

Actually your lands do die. A creature with 0 toughness is put into the graveyard by a statebased effect so indestructability doesn't matter.

Thatoneguy is right, a creature can't survive with 0 toughness. Indestructibility can be thought of as allowing damage to occur without altering a creature's toughness, but wither and negative counters will still kill an indestructible creature.

Plus you can still Exile an indestructible.

to be official about it, this is the meaning of destroy, indestructible creatures by definition may NOT be "destroyed"

701.6. Destroy

701.6a To destroy a permanent, move it from the battlefield to its owner’s graveyard.

701.6b The only ways a permanent can be destroyed are as a result of an effect that uses the word “destroy” or as a result of the state-based actions that check for lethal damage (see rule 704.5g) or damage from a source with deathtouch (see rule 704.5h). If a permanent is put into its owner’s graveyard for any other reason, it hasn’t been “destroyed.”

701.6c A regeneration effect replaces a destruction event. See rule 701.11, “Regenerate.”
