Yes, they help!
As long as you do them the right way. It's important to perform them slowly and with a "deep" crunch.
The key is to exhale before the crunch, pushing out your belly. Then when you exhale, crunch to push your abs down and in.
If you don't do this your abs may actually push out rather than giving you a nice flat stomach.
No
situps will strenghen the muscles in your stomach. It will not remove the fat from there. Fat usually comes off "all over" and never in one specific spot.
Situps help, but they are not the complete answer. You need to have a low amount of body fat to flatten the stomach and have visible abs. Don't know if that's a goal of yours, but it goes along with a flat stomach.
You don't need crazy contraptions, just a good diet and exercise regimen.

Situps will help to strengthen the abdominal muscles. Situps however have nothing to do with th exterior look of what most people consider a "six pack". If you are looking at sculpting your midsection you will need to deplete the fat layers on top of the abs in order to physcially see a difference.
No...you have to do cardio and burn more calories than you take in to lose the fat in your body overall. You can do a million sit ups and get strong abdominal muscles but you wont look toned with layers of fat sitting on top.
