I swam on a professional team for 8 years...just giving you some background on my opinion.
1. The butterfly stroke works out your abs the most, since you have to use them to push your whole body out of the water. The kicks also help work your lower abs. You could do kicking exercises on the side of a pool if you hold on and kick for a few minutes straight.
2. Yes, swimming does help tone your abs, but unless you're doing training out of the pool you wont have them carved. Again, butterfly is the stroke that works out your abs the best.
3. Freestyle is another good stroke to work out, seeing that its the fastest and will build up the cardio part of your workout. Pretty much any stroke can help your chest, since you're moving your arms in a rotation.
Swimming is extremely healthy, and once you start swimming regularly you'll see the difference in your endurance and figure. All you have to do is work at it!
Hope this helped.

I'm pretty certain freestyle is the one that works best, but basically any stroke in general will reduce body fat. Swimming is very good exercise, and uses all the muscles so every stroke is pretty much helpful. But as I said, I think free style (and if you can learn the butterfly) are best for what you want. I wouldn't limit myself to just one move though!
