It will do several things:
- trap the heat in your body. This makes it more likely for you to get heat exhaustion. People have died training in rubber suits and the like. Besides, you are trying to burn the fat as energy and heat -- so let your body get rid of the heat.
- make you sweat a ton. This will make you lose weight in the short run, but mostly in water, which you will regain after you have rehydrated.
To burn fat, you should run at about 60% of your VO2 max (your maximum oxygen consumption) -- you can approximate this by working out at 60% of your max heart rate, or running just enough to be a little breathless, but still able to carry on a conversation. I think there are some Reebok ads on the left side to that effect.
It sounds counterintuitive, but the harder you push yourself, the more likely it is for your body to burn glycogen (stored sugar) instead of fat for energy, since you can use the sugar in an anaerobic state, but you need oxygen to burn fat.
As for stomach versus other fat, unfortunately, there is no way to target specific areas for fat reduction -- you just lose it everywhere. You can do strength exercises to increase muscle bulk and tone, and that may help.

It won't do much except make you miserable. If you're looking to lose fat, you just need to consistantly run. Fat is basically the reserve energy cells in your body, and when you run often, your body starts using those fuel cells more often, burning the fat. Also, you may need to go a little farther than a mile or fifteen minutes. It's a good place to start, but if that's where you plan to stay, you won't make much progress very quickly.

No! Absolutely not! It is making you lose water weight, which is leading to dehydration and a heat exhaustion. Stop doing this!
You don't lose fat in one spot of your body, you lose it everywhere. Just keep doing your cardio to get the calories burned, and do some weight training to tone the muscles underneath. The muscles are what burn the fat while you are resting.

no it will not make you lose you stomach fat, if you lose weight ,which you probably will if you run every day but if you want to lose body fat you need to cut down on carbs. that means less sugar which contains one of the worst kind of carbs and flour, like breads made out of white flour,tortillas,pastries,crackers, rice cakes, you see these all contain alot of carbs and they store in you fat cells, so you might want to eat fish,chicken,meat cooked well even though if you want to gain muscle they say to eat it rare, but that's up to you and lots of veggies they have almost no carbs, also try not eating after 6 pm cause that's when you metabolism is at it's slowest and your fat cells go to sleeps and they don't want to be bothered so they fight to stay in your body so good luck and i wish you the best and i hope this advice will help you a little

No. Your body won't lose fat selectively... your whole body will lose fat. Keeping that clothes on might cause you to overheat since you won't be able to lose sweat freely. The idea of sweating is to cool your body.
Just stick to sensible exercise and caloric intake and your weight should take care of itself. Avoid fast food and othe high fat foods.

No, it's far more likely you will become dehydrated, or worse, have heat stroke. You would just lose water and as much fat as the run itself would have lost for you.
