The flywheel in an engine stores the energy given to it by the moving pistons and smooths the rotation. In single cylinder engines the power stroke of the piston would cease immediately if it were not for the flywheel continuing the exhaust stroke to rid the cylinder of the spent gases.

No, a rusted flywheel will not cause the engine not to turn over.
In most cases the flywheel is bolted straight on to the end of the crankshaft.
A bad flywheel can definitely cause the engine not to turn over. The flywheel has teeth. If the teeth are chipped or broken, then the starter can not engage to spin the engine over.

The 1969 Chevy engine casting number 3970010 corresponds to a 350 cubic inch engine. For this engine, a standard flywheel for a 350 engine, typically a 168-tooth flywheel, would be appropriate. Ensure that you choose a flywheel that matches the specific configuration of your engine, such as whether it is for a manual or automatic transmission. Always verify the balance and tooth count to ensure compatibility.
take the tranny out and the flywheel is right on back of the engine, unbolt the flywheel and take it off and install new flywheel with new bolts and torque them down.
No. It positions the flywheel in the proper place for the ignition timing.
Crankshaft directly connects to the flywheel.
Pulling the engine's start cord turns the flywheel. The flywheel has a magnet or magnets on it that create electrical charge as the flywheel turns, causing them to pass other magnets. The electrical charge travels to the spark plug and starts the engine. Once the engine is running, the inertia created by the flywheel's turning has enough momentum to keep the engine's crankshaft turning between the piston's power strokes. During operation, the flywheel's magnets also induce voltage in the armature to keep the spark plug firing. Those magnets are called a Magneto ignition.
