Would I be correct that "I am hugging Floss" would be:
Floss kucaklaşıyorum ???
If I wanted to refer to a hug as a noun can I just add the verbal noun suffix to the verb stem?
Poppy, kucaklaşma istiyorum
Poppy, I want a hug
Would kucaklaşmak or sarılmak be better here???

I think you should put 'Floss' in an accusative-state
Floss'u kucaklaşıyorum
And i think kucaklaşma means 'the hugging', instead of just 'hug'.. But i am not sure at all 
The other question I cannot answer at all.

Kucaklamak : to hug
Kucaklaşmak: to hug eachother
So, in your case, since floss can't hug you:
Floss'u kucaklıyorum.
kucaklamak takes -i
And,
Sevgilimle kucaklaşıyorum.
kucaklaşmak, öpüşmek (to kiss eachother) , bakışmak (to look at eachother) etc. takes "ile" (with).
Sevgilimle kucaklaşıyorum.
Sevgilimle öpüşÃ¼yorum.

and sarılmak is very near kucaklamak but takes -e
Floss'a sarılıyorum.
Floss'a sarılmak istiyorum.
But I think kucaklamak is better, it shows more passionate and it is a more protecting act.

Thanks for the explanation......
So would "Poppy, I want a hug" be
Poppy, kucaklama istiyorum
That would seem to translate more as "Poppy, I want hugging"
Is there a different noun for hug???

Floss'a is dative (-e/-a suffix)
Floss'u is accusative (-i/-ı/-u/-ü)

Ofcourse  Thanks.
Just a pity that you also need to know what case comes with what verb  It's the same with Latin and German, and it's HARSH!
