Flux lines are a kind of abstract way of thinking about vector fields. It's similar to contour maps, and is just meant to give you an idea on paper of what a three dimensional field is.

Correct, abstract. The direction of the lines show the direction of the field. Closer together lines, stronger field.

No-one actually knows what a magnetic field is - right?
