I would not kill him. And I cannot imagine Sam killing him, I think if he did, that would haunt him till the rest of his days. Sincerely, to me killing one like Gollum is like tearing the wings of a fly, no matter how wicked he was.
And yes, I also see quite clearly how Sam would push Frodo in the fire hadn't Gollum been there. And he would do that not only to save the world from the Ring, but for Frodo's sake, because of his loyalty towards him.
