There is nothing as Buddhist vows. But the conduct of Sila for a beginner can perhaps be similar to a vow.

Escapism does not address the core issue. Say you have X experience which you do not like and you distract yourself with Y experience with you take pleasure in. The solution is temporary as Y ends you are left unsatisfied again.
The case of much of the suffering are the unwholesome roots in craving, aversion and ignorance. Buddhist pratice aims to remove them.
Now let's take experiance you like. What happens is you think "Ah, I like this" hence the notion of I arises in your mind. Likewise with many forms of craving and aversions. So if you remove the craving or aversion by being equanimous (and also remove ignorance being aware of the arising and passing nature of phenomena) you stop perceiving a self. There is not separation of self from the body, it is just that you do not perceive a self as an entity. Also any perception of self is a concept or abstraction created by our mind which is never in tune with the true nature of what actually is there. Hence you have to get rid of any concepts about self (which in all cases will be wrong).
Right from the birth we are so attached to our body.Unwanted sensations easily disrupt the peace of our mind.
That's right.
Why is the mind so attached to the body ...
You are born due to attachment to the body. If it was not so you will not be re born.
... and how to overcome such attachments?
This is though the pratice of Vipassana.
You have to be mindful of arising and passing of sensation pertaining to:
Is there any way to stay mindful when your mind is busy at work?
Simply be mindful of sensation in your body. E.g.
I am very emotional
Since you are emotional best is to pratice in the context of an organised course. Due to emotions perhaps you might not pratice as intended or in the right way without guidance. Following centres have a wide outreach and I personally have positive results thought the pratice: http://ift.tt/1tGrLK8. I have not tried this out but the course most likely like the other hence would be benificial: http://ift.tt/1of2482
Need advice on how to handle my emotions
If meditation is done right you would be able to be more emotionally stable.
Emotions have some sensation associated with it. If you get attached or averse to the sensation you are creating negativity.
You have to try your best to study the sensations behind your emotions to understand and handle your emotions.
For example if i have lied to my parents and can the bad kamma be deleted when i apologize to them?
You can neutralise Karma when the result is felt [Sañcetanika Sutta] or by diluting the result of karma through counteracting [karma Loṇa,phala Sutta].
What is the difference between the bad kamma that are committed to parents and ordinary people?
Karma committed to parents are give more worst results than ordinary people. If you do something to a compassionate person the results are more weighty than an ordinary person. Likewise if you do something to your parents the repercussions are much more.
Nirvana is the fuel burning out which keeps the recreation of the 5 aggregates, more particularly the elimination of the cause or roots (greed, hatred, delusion, non greed, non hatred, non delusion). So this description of Nirvana as a place is wrong.
Scientific theories are not eternal but in a flux of change unlike the Dhamma is a constant in any time period. So these theories of dimensionality cannot be related to Dhamma but can be perhaps treated as an approximation or an aid to understand at the conceptual level.
but that it also coexists in an eternal ocean of other universes
According to Abhidhamma there are infinite universes.
If we are right, big bangs are taking place even as you read this sentence
This again is a view found in Abhidhamma texts.
