What happens if I break suspicious gravel?

If you break "suspicious gravel" in Minecraft without brushing it first, it simply breaks and drops nothing, turning into regular gravel, which is frustrating because you lose the chance to get valuable items like pottery sherds or armor trims from it. It's a fragile block that breaks if it falls, gets moved by a piston, or is mined with anything other than a brush or shears (though shears yield nothing useful from it either), requiring careful excavation with the brush tool to reveal its hidden loot.

Does breaking gravel with torch give flint?

No, in current versions of Minecraft, dropping gravel onto a torch doesn't reliably give you flint; it just breaks the gravel, dropping the gravel block itself, not flint.
