Hopeful, given that so many women in the 19th century gave birth to a huge number of kids I think it's safe to say that corsets don't make you infertile. Sure, not everyone had a dozen kids living in there household, but that's only because the infant mortality rate was so high. As a matter fact, most Victorian women weren't even willing to stop wearing a corset during pregnancy, and instead switched to a much less restrictive "pregnancy corset", and yet it doesn't seem to have kept them from popping them out like a factory. Of course, they must have loosened their corsets even more as their tummies expanded. Modern tightlacers don't wear corsets during pregnancy, and I'm not suggesting that you or anyone else should, but the fact that Victorians were actually able to do so goes a long way towards proving that a corset can't crush your uterus to death.
In response to your other question, of course a corset can cinch your waist no matter your size or shape, but it will only make it look smaller not firmer, and the displaced fat has to somewhere. It doesn't just disappear. Don't forget that ab exercises can also help pull your stomach in without causing weight loss.
