Does it mean "You flattered me"?

No, it has nothing to do with flattery. It is almost a "throw-away" comment after someone else says something. However, it seems to often does hint that the person doubts the accuracy or truthfulness of what you said.

Incredulity at the statement heard. The listener had trouble believing it. Or is shocked at its implications. It does not mean anything about flattery. Doubt.

its the same as responding with "really?".
Basically a person will respond with this when you've told them something they were not aware of. It also means that they are intrigued and would like more details to what you've told them

I am from the south and where I am from people used it like you would use "Your kidding me" or "Are you sure about that?" Also it can mean "Well that is interesting"

It's simply another way of saying "really". For me, typically, it's sarcastic, but it doesn't always have to be.

It means "oh, really?" or "no kidding..." (intonation required) :)

It is roughly "Is that really true".
