They dont take him seriously until he starts to take them seriously.
he realises that for the first time he has "a pair of fighters".
after that, Haymitch starts to sober up and help them survive the games.
Haymitch won the games the same way Katniss and Peeta did: inadvertently using a weapon of the Capital to his advantage. And due to that, after he won, his family and girlfriend were killed by President Snow. Having nothing left, he turned to alcohol. Since District 12 was the poorest district, many of the tributes who were selected were very weak and had no skills at all that could help them survive. But when he saw that Katniss and Peeta weren't as weak as those before them, it made him realize that they might just win, but only if he shapens up and helps them
When they managed not to get hurt in an accidental brawl while on the train to the Capital.
Well in a way, they dont. The fight for the people they love, and Haymitch just happened to see that. They had a charisma that showed that they wanted to survive.
Peeta shows off his anger and strength and Katniss throws a knife into a slit in the wall.

Haymitch's second instruction for Peeta and Katniss are to find water.
Idk
He was refering to how he said to Ceasar Flickerman in the interviews that he had a crush on Katniss forever. He said 'Haymitch told me you would take a lot of convincing' because Katniss didnt believe that he liked her, even though he did.
Katniss and Peeta confronted Haymitch because he wasn't mentoring them. He was just sitting and drinking. They confronted him telling him that he needed to mentor him, and that they were fighters. This tells you that Haymitch didn't really mentor his tributes, as District 12 wasn't trained before The Hunger Games. They were too poor. But when Katniss and Peeta showed him that they were fighters and weren't willing to give up, he was willing to train them half sober.
Haymitch said that he had made Katniss look desirable.

No, Katniss does not have a crush on Haymitch. Haymitch is her mentor in The Hunger Games, not a love interest. Katniss realizes how similar they are in Catching Fire, but that doesn't mean she has feelings for him.
Haymitch is Katniss and Peeta's mentor. He trains them for the Hunger Games.
Haymitch wants Katniss to be herself, because she's bad at acting.
Haymitch's second instruction for Peeta and Katniss are to find water.
Haymitch Abernathy.
He's always drunk.
He does.
Stay Alive
Idk
Because Haymitch can't sponsor Katniss, but only the people from the Capitol.. But Haymitch talked to some sponsors that same evening when Katniss got injured.
