Are you sure you aren't looking at a Piano Score? Because The numbers under a note for the Piano score is what finger is suggested to use. But I have never seen that for a Flute piece? :/

do you mean, like when it will show 3 8th notes tied together and a 3 underneath, and/or 16th notes with a 6 underneath (??) which would mean that that amount equals 1 quarter note.

It is a tuplet, meaning whatever number is under the notes is how many notes you play in that space. So if you had three 8th notes with a "3" under them, you would play 3 eights notes in the time of one quarter note. If you had a number 6, or 5, or 7, or whatever, you would play that many notes for the specified beat.

This is kind of off-topic... but in some music there is randomly, in small letters, things such as "A2" or "A6" written under some notes, usually after playing after rests. What does that mean?
