  If i wanna train abs, can i do it purely without all the weights and stuff?? as in just doing situps and crunches and leg lifts alone...
  and how frequent should i do them? how many sets or reps?
  alternate days? everyday?
  then i must also do cardio rite?
  then cardio exercises do when?? and how often??

  I tell you frankly, do weighted pushups is enough for your abs.
  
  Many people dont believe abs are one of the stabilising muscles in pushups.
  
  or if you are fit you can try the one legged squat.
  
  Cardio is your discretion.Just dont until it eats upyour muscles rapidly.

  Probably,to many people a 6 pack with 10 in arms are the best! So don't need to worry about asking people to refrain from doing cardio!
  
  Chin ups with legs forward also work the abs-many people dont know this

  I still prefer swimming to gain abs.Especially back stroke.Since your back and abs are arched.Other strokes are great as well.
