Doubt of continuous tense

I saw an article's title named "Bringing out the best in our relationship".

I wonder why the first word is "Bringing" instead of "Bring"? I don't really remember clear, but I guess my tutor has mentioned something like : when you have a word + ing then you can use it to start a sentence...

sorry i don't remember accurately, if there are mistakes, must be mine.

Would you mind to help me?

Would you mind helping me?

The above two phrases both are correct,right?And why can the second one be valid? I mean why we can use the ing form in here? does it make "helping me" becomes "it"?

I am really really curious to these questions, please kindly offer your help.

"Bring out the best in our relationship" would be a command. It could have been phrased "How to bring out the best...", but that could read as though the author has all the answers and is going to give a list of instructions.
