A critter called a “yellow sack spider” crawled across my screen, and it looked very alarming, so I looked it up. Apparently it can harm you pretty badly but is not usually fatal. I found it on a hat, and put the hat in a bag and tied it.

How long do I need to leave it in the bag to starve to death, or what should I do now?

If it didn't lay eggs in the hat before it definitely has now thanks to your handy privacy curtain and enclosure.

The size of human pores, if your head itches at any point after wearing the hat I have terrible painful news :(

I will sanitize the hat and the plastic bag, so I can safely reuse it as a small trash bag (the plastic bag).

realistically an egg sack would be really obvious, glued to the wall with webbing everywhere, lots of visible eggs clustered together.

yellow spiders tend to lay them at ground level

check around the trim of your rooms for a little dusty-looking lump. probably in the bathroom or another dry cool place.

Not to be confused with meat.
Surrounding the spider with a salt circle with a radius of roughly 40-80 centimeters and chanting "juggle asinus testiculis" three times should take care of it.

Spider-man is pretty much the worst one to be. You have to use that 'great power' responsibly or people die. Can't just go into pro-wrestling or make money off it. That's not allowed.

He's not even that strong. Spider-man is still squarely in the "would just get shot" category. OP made the right choice.
