Does walking on the treadmill help to flatten your stomach?
Not really, walking just slowly burns calories and turns fat to muscle (if you walk too much). Walking doesn't have a specific target to get fat off. It does it evenly. If you want to flatten your stomach, I recommend doing plank (like the push-up position, but your elbows stay still on the floor, and your body has to be parallel and you have to stay in that position until you feel tired.
I've been using it for the last 3 weeks and have seen results. My legs, waist and arms are heaps more toned, it is working for me.
Just have to make sure you do it everyday =]

Why does your pulse rate increase with exercise?
Becouse during the execise, the muscles need energy for doing their job. This energy is obtained by carbohydrate or fat burning, and for this reaction oxygen is needed. The more intensive the execise is, more quantity of oxygen it needs. For carrying more oxygen to the muscle, the heart needs to increase the number of beats per minit. This way more blood (carrying oxygen and carbohydrates) can be transported to the muscle.

Do you burn the same amount of calories running as you do walking the same distance?
You burn more calories per minute of exercise running than walking. However, if you run a set distance the workout is done a lot faster than if you walked the same distance. It's usually pretty much a draw between a short and high burn or a longer lower burn.
It would make more sense to ask if you would burn more calories by running or walking for a half an hour. You would clearly burn more calories by running for a half an hour than by walking for a half an hour. But walking would be much gentler on your joints, while running might be better cardiovascularly.
Will walking everyday make your legs larger?
If you mean muscle.. it depends how far you walk i guess. You should get a fitter heart and reduce the amount of fat on your legs by walking but unless you're clocking up serious miles you shouldn't build extraordinarily large leg muscles.
Like the above. Walking will help create lean legs. Strengh training with weights will cause muscle to grow and become larger.

What workouts should you do at the gym to cut weight?
Weight loss and calorie burn through exercise is mainly about getting and keeping your heart rate up. And pretty much all kinds of consistent activites, like running, bicycling, swimming, dancing etc etc does a better job of keeping your heart rate up than lifting weights does. If you can lift weights at a high enough intensity and long enough to match the pulse rate and duration of a run, they you'll burn the same amount of calories. But odds are you can't. I can do around 1000 cal/hour during intense cardio, but find it really difficult to get past 600 while doing weight training. Keep in mind that the big thing is your diet. If you are overeating it's pretty much impossible to exercise hard enough to lose anything that way. A snack that takes 5 minutes to eat, like a cupcake, can take one hour to burn off.
If you insist, you should do fairly low weights and plenty of repetitions, exercises that boosts your heart rate and keeps it up consistently. Not something that's done in two big grunts and then over with.

All these gadgets that they show for tummy reduction work but they dont.

Is it safe to wear a vinyl sauna suit while doing cardio workout?
No, it doesn't allow your skin to breath and sweat, you could die from heat exhaustion.
The previous answer is not true in whole. Sauna suits do make you sweat! That's the whole purpose of a sauna suit. The natural sweat excretion process cleans out the pores of your skin, and helps to rid your body of excess water weight and some toxins. Sauna suits are used effectively to accelerate water weight loss. Professional athletes such as boxers, wrestlers and others will often use a sauna sweat suit to control their body weight to maintain their status in a weight class of competition. As with any physical conditioning equipment, always consult a qualified doctor or physical trainer about the use of a sauna suit. Always rehydrate with liquids such as Gatorade or other sports drinks. These drinks are designed to replace electrolytes lost during the sweating process. Robert Brady
