Yes, you're right: gitme means "dont go" and it's also "the going" (a verbal noun). You can distinguish them only from context.
About "gitsin", it means "that he/it goes". It's the imperative positive for 3rd person singular.
"Gittin" means "you went".

first, you cannot find in the dictionary such forms of the verbs; tenses and verbal forms are not there, you just have to learn the mechanism of their forming
the negative imperative
"almak"- ALMA for the 2nd person singular and ALMAYIN or ALMAYINIZ for the 2nd person plural
"gitmek"- GITME for the 2nd person singular and GITMEYIN or GITMEYINIZ for the 2nd person plural
ben gitmeyeyim
sen gitme
o gitsin
biz gitmeyelim
siz gitmeyin/ gitmeyiniz
onlar gitmesinler

"Gitmeyin" is a polite form of saying don't go, and it is used as a a public imperative.

Merhaba,
Sorunu aşağıdaki örneklerle açıklamaya çalıştım:
Çocuk:Anne,ben parka GİTMEK istiyorum.
Anne:Gitme.
Çocuk:Neden?
Anne:Ödevin bitmedi daha.
As you know, in English dictionaries, verb are shown as "to go",but we don't use them with "to" unless we need an infinitive or gerung(going) verb in a sentence.(I mean we can't use two verbs together in one sentence without infinitive or gerund)
Now it is same for Turkish.In dictinaries,even they use "gitme or gitmek", we dont use them with "-mek".
But in the first sentence THERE ARE TWO VERBS.SO "gitme"is in THE INFINITIVE FORM.But in second sentence it is negative imperative because she refuses her child's wish and there are no other verbs.
Here are more examples for positive imperatives and different subjects
Ayşe(child): Pencere açacağım.
Anne(mother): AÇ.=(imperative for you-singular)
(more polite=açabilirsin=you can open)
* * *
Anne:Kardeşini ara,eve GELSİN.(for 3rd singular person)
Ayşe: Peki.
Anne :Limonata yaptım.Arkadaşları da GELSİN.(For 3rd-plural person)
Hepbirlikte İÇİN.(İÇ+İN =FOR 2nd plural person)
Umarım bu örnekler sana yardımcı olur

A tiny correction:
English verbs are shown in the dictionaries as bare infinitive, not to-infinitive. So you see "go" instead of "to go".

Boy: Mom, I want to go to the park.
Mother: Don't go.
When you want to say "I WANT to do something" in turkish, you have to use the verb in infinitive. EX:
I want to sleep = Uyumak istiyorum.
It's an exception.
But if you want to say, for example "I like sleeping", yo have to use the verbal noun, uyuma (the sleeping).
I like sleeping = Uyumayı beğeniyorum
The verbal noun ıs the actıon of the verbç
Infinitive: gitmek
Verbal noun: gitme (the going) gitmeme (the not going)

Hi!
When you look at an English-Turkish dictionary you see infinitive form of verb, Alltohuman!
I've checked it in my English-Turkish Oxford Dictionary: "GO=GİTMEK" is written.
