it means that "i want to you to look at me"
-sana,-sene means that "i want to you to ......."
but you can translate it turning into imperative form.
"look at me" or more politely "please look at me"
because the suffix "-sana,-sene" is not tottaly imperative.it is weaker than imperative form.i hope the explanation is good enough.

In my opinion, -sene or -sana after verb stem, like in koşsana, baksana, alsana, gitsene etc. ads the meaning "why don't you ...".
When people are stuck in traffic it is common to hear the phrase "yürüsene kardeşim".

if you don't want the action that you say to the person to do you wouldn't say it.yes sometimes -sana,-sene maybe reccomend.but not always.in the example that you gave it means "i want to you to move".if you say why don't you move it means two things:1-you are really asking the person why is he not moving?
2-you reccomend him to move.
but the meaning on "yürüsene kardeşim" is stronger than a reccomend.at the same time it can't be an order because the form is not imperative.

Same for me,but i understood it,here
Bana Bak,means ... Look at me.
Bana baksana....means,Will you look at me ?
or how about looking at me?
Something between an order and a request.
But what i want to know do we use it with o,onlar,siz,biz and all,or what ?

I have always used the sana/sene prefix as a sort of exclamation.
Like eg. "buraya gelsene" = come here! and "buraya gel" come here (softer)
So I would say that bana bak is look at me! It's more informal than bana bakınız.
