Answers:
Adductors and abductors, it also helps stabilze the knee if done correctly. Basically the inside and outside of the upper thigh.

It is a more advanced excercise and should be done under supervision.
You can get similar results walking sideways with a large rubber band kept just above your knees. If you are going to try this, get some assistance fromw a person in your gym or at a bear minimum pick up a book on "Core" fitness.
Hello there !
Make you look rather silly , it would be O/K but it's not level so...
It probably damages the cartilage in your knees and joints : (
It would be better if you did it on real ground..that way you aren't letting the treadmill "take" you need, but because on real ground you land differently. Hard to explain in text ! haha
