If I eat 800 calories a day and walk briskly for four hours, how much weight will I lose in a month?

you are over doing it. try 1200 calories and one 1/2 hours of walking.

it depends on your base metabolic rate. you could ball park it and say you would normally use 1800 calories a day, there fore you would be cutting out 1000 by reduction in food and walking uses apx 5 calories a minute so that would be 1200 more. There are 3500 calories in a pound.
These numbers don't sound safe. You will probably end up feeling weak and pass out. It is only safe to lose about 2 to 4 pounds a week.

800, that is way too little---the weight you would be loosing would be primarily muscle and water.
If you want to loose fat then you need to have a good combination of nutrition and working out. You should be eating 20% less than your daily maintenance calorie level. Any less and you can throw your body into starvation mode, where it will burn muscle for food and store fat.

Depends on how much you stop eating.
