Can too much ram be harmful?

Can you have too much RAM? Generally, no. There are some edge cases with specific applications or operating systems that don't play well with over 3GB of RAM (32bit Windows, specifically) or some such, but mostly that stuff has been done away with and if still in use, is better run in a VM than as a live system.

Is 3600mhz ram good for ryzen 9 5900x?
It should work fine but some kits especially 32gb kits may cause issues (I run mine at 2666 MHz and don't even get me started on those Kingstons that I removed from my PC)...

Does sleep mode harm ram?
No, unless you hit something. Sleep mode is low-power but not zero power so if you leave it that way for extended periods of time keep it plugged in. If not when the battery hits a certain level it'll wake up and then shut down.

Can minecraft run smoothly on 4gb ram?
Yes, this is by far enough ram to run Minecraft. I spent about 4 years on a machine with 4gb RAM, and I can assure you that the only issue with that amount of RAM is trying to do more things at the same time (chrome + game for example), but even then the main issue with Minecraft is the graphics.
