so that the solutions mix properly
To remove any substance that is already present in the titration flask from the previous titration
If there are any drops still hanging on the burette, they should be washed into the flask with distilled water.
So you can swirl the contents around without spilling them. =]
It is the conical flask in which the solution from the burette flows into and which you add the indicator into.
So that no extra moles of NaOH were present in the flask.

If the solution in the conical flask gets washed with distilled water during the experiment, it can potentially dilute the solution, change its concentration, or introduce impurities. This can impact the accuracy and reliability of the experimental results. It is important to follow the experimental procedure carefully and avoid introducing any unintended changes to the solution.

Yes. By adding water to rinse, you will be changing the concentration of the thing you are titrating, and so your calculation will be off. If you have material on the walls of the flask, just gently stir the flask and let the solution in the flask wash anything off the walls. I do not believe this is true. Once you add an amount of reactant into your flask adding more water will not change the number of moles of reactant that are present in the flask. The titrant will react in the mole ratio for that particular reaction so water doesn't play a role. You can rinse the flask and even use water to get part of a drop into your flask for a more accurate titration.
Yes.
A burette, a pipette and conical flask
Titration involves the use of a buret and also an Erlenmeyer flask or beaker (where it is measured).
