That's a common misrepresentation. Their financial program is rather similar to that of traditional Danish Social Democratism, with high taxes and economic security for the weak groups in society, especially the elderly, low-income workers and the sick. If Social Conservative, the Conservative part only denounces their stance on immigration, the Danish Church and family values.

In some ways, yes. They do believe in the free market, in assimilation of foreigners, the multi-ethnic society, and they are patriotic 'populists,' who never hide the fact that they follow the will of the common man. I can't pinpoint what it is, but I have always thought of Vlaams Belang as more Nationalist.
