Do they differ fundamentally in grammar and pronunciation such as Italian and Spanish do, or they have minimal differences?

The differences are no more than the differences between English of New York City and English of Boston.
LATER EDIT: One of my best friends is Flemish. When we were roommates in graduate school, he always hung out with the Dutch students. They all spoke the same language, but they knew he was Flemish because his accent was a little different.

From what I know, flemish uses more antiquated expression and terms and has remained more "Dutch" then the actual Dutch language itself, meaning less influence from the English language. Also, the Flemish language is considered more of a dialect. More information cannot be given at this time. Consult Google and surely there are sufficient explanations available.

Dutch is the official language even in Belgium. Flemish is just a dialect of Dutch.
