How would the US be should it become a unitary government?

if it became an unitary government then there's would be no states to start with. There will one central focus of power in the United State, most likely Washington, DC. All the powers that government have will be focused on the federal level. that's just the basic of this topic. there's many controversial issues as to if this kind of government is better than the current government in the US.

Does a unitary system of government give states the most power?

No, a unitary system of government is centralized and usually presented as a counterpart to federalism. Unitary countries utilize a strong national government that holds complete authority over local governments, and devolves/reserves powers at will.This is in contrast to federations (countries that operate under federalist systems) where the national government works in tandem with local governments, and both retain explicitly reserved powers that neither can infringe upon. In the US, states maintain significance influence on internal affairs under this system, a privilege they would be unable to enjoy if the US were a unitary country.Current examples of unitary countries include the United Kingdom, France, and China. Examples of federations include the United States, Russia, and (according to some) the European Union as a political entity.

Is a unitary form of government is also a parliamentary form of government?

It can be, but not necessarily. A unitary state is simply one where the power is centralized in one place and contrasts with a federation in which power is divided among states/regions and a central government. For example, the UK is a unitary state (for the most part) whereas the US is a federation. A parliamentary form of government simply means that the executive branch/ministers/cabinet are part of the legislative body. Both unitary and federal states can have parliaments. For example, India is a federation with a parliamentary system where as the UK is a unitary state with a parliamentary system.

Why wouldn't a unitary parliamentary government work for the US?

The short answer is that if the united states became a unitary state it would no longer be "united states" but rather the "united state." Perhaps some successor state occupying a portion of what was once the US could be a unitary state, but the likelihood of all the constitute parts of the US voluntarily relinquishing their legislative and administrative prerogative is minute.
