To make a tomato bloom set spray, combine one tablespoon of Epsom salt with one gallon of water. Optionally, you can add a few drops of liquid seaweed or a mild liquid fertilizer to enhance the nutrient content. Spray this mixture on the flowers of your tomato plants in the early morning or late afternoon to encourage pollination and fruit set. Be sure to apply it every couple of weeks during the blooming period for the best results.
Every bloom on a tomato plant CAN in fact produce a tomato. I polinate my plants by going from bloom to bloom and "tickling" them. My wife laughs at me for "fondling" my plants, but it works!

To make 8 oz of tomato sauce from tomato paste, mix 4 oz of tomato paste with 4 oz of water until well combined.
There is plenty of talk about the usefulness of the bloom set spray, how much it typically costs, and how many blooms one can treat, but there don't appear to be a lot of "how to make at home" recipes for it.
Flowers will bloom as the reason for flowers is to attract pollinators. If the pollination does not happen the plant will not set seed.
Tomato skin is just that, the skin from the tomato. Tomato pulp is the skin and the seed and whatever else does not make it through the strainer.
