* cut flowers need to be clean where they are cut, so if you use bleach they will be clean thus leading to a nice long life for your flowers. * the bleach kills the bacteria in the water and on the cut flower, these bacteria promote the rotting of the cut flowers and their removal slows down the decomposing process.

Clorox bleach is used to keep cut flowers fresh. Some gardeners use it on seeds to prevent plant viruses.
The concentration of sugar would matter significantly. If you place the flower in a hypertonic solution of sugar then the flower is going to dehydrate faster than with tap water. If you insert the flower tips in a near isotonic solution of sugar then the plant may take that up and use it for energy. I imagine that bacteria and fungi present in the air would also proliferate in the sugar water solution and may cause harm to the flower. Some individuals use a mild bleach solution in the water for cut flowers to curb bacterial/fungal growth.
No as long as the coloring agent is not toxic but it can affect the color of a flower that has been cut.
Bleach will kill bacteria in a flower container.
