I prefer a darker skin tone to pale white. As far as looking thinner, yes it visually will slim you. Think of a room painted white vs a room painted a darker color. The white appears bigger and more spacious. Also, ALL bodies have cellulite, especially white girls. Its genetically impossible to avoid it, however a nice tan can certainly make it much less noticeable (less shadows). So that might also play a factor in what you are noticing.

tan naturally makes you look more healthy, and fit.
interestingly enough, my best friend is a body builder and was in a competition and had to do a spray tan all over to compete for the show. all the contestants did it, and I gotta say that yea he did look more defined after he was tan. although it was hilarious cause he def went a little overboard and looked kinda orange all over.
Does it matter? The skin tone you have naturally is the one that looks best on you.

A nicely tanned body is more beautiful, but using self tanner is awful. I live in a country were people can get tanned in the sun, and most girls are quite dark during the summer. I've lived in the UK and I saw some horrible tans there, more like orange than brown... is that because of those products? I don't know, but I've got to say I think it's ridiculous to use that stuff, no one will stop liking you because you're not tanned!
natural tan is good, not the type you spray on or sit out in the sun for though, just the active outdoorsy tan
only if its natural
