yes
by definition, you would be trying to slim down, as in lose the body fat.
bulking would be building muscle. but beware, sometimes while cutting, u might lose some muscle mass. but only a slight %.
most people eat about 2k-3k calories a day to get cut , depending on the persons' stature/size/weight,
&
bulking would be 3.5k-4.5k, surplus to build muscle

cardiovascular training :
HIIT < high intensity interval training >
best way to BURN FAT, and less chance of burning muscle. well from what i've heard. its VERY EFFECTIVE!
yes running
this is how it works:
next time u run. or w/e cardio u do
cardio up to 30 minutes :::
~ 3 minutes full pace :sprint/run:
~ 2 minutes break - jog/walk
~ repeat process for up to 30 minutes.
try it. its really effective in burning fat.
cardio 3-4 times a week is sufficient.
regular cardio, if done more than 30 minutes, ur actually gonna burn your muscle cells because you'd be overtraining.
The most effective way to cut is to refashion your diet. I don't know how big you are but 2000 calories is a good place to start for shedding fat at a healthy and quick rate. Eat 5 small meals a day at about 400 calories per meal (or 3 larger 500 calorie meals with 2 healthy snacks). Space out the meals about 3 hours apart and eat healthy foods like salmon, nuts, chicken, lean beef, fortified eggs, etc.
Exercising is also important in cutting. Weight train and do cardio on your off days. Find a good routine that works for you and your schedule and be sure to keep it going.
Like Joey said, it depends on your bodyweight. For general information, try here:

no way of doing same thing at once
because
of calorie intake
if u bulk , u eat more
if you cut, u eat slightly less, without starving ur self, u dont want to lose ur muscle
with 1 lb of muscle, u burn 50 calories, so basically keeping ur muscle that u have already developed intact!
u should only cut if ur overweight at first, because overweight people need to lose the extra lbs. cutting would allow you to see definition and get toned.
if ur fat and u bulk, ur gonna see urself be HUGE, as in HUGE, u want definition right? cut first
so what whats ur weight/height/body fat%?
I would bulk first then cut. Bulking first really speeds the cutting process along since a pound of muscle gained burns an extra 50 calories a day, just sitting there. Bulking can take anywhere between 2-6 months or even longer. However, if you're already quite overweight, cutting and bulking with a clean slate is fine too. It's not so much how long you cut rather how much you cut and that depends on your current stats, your dedication, and your regimen.
Joey beats me to the punch twice in a row.
Thanks Joey! =)
