Do it on an empty stomach to see the fattest results or try HIIT (High intensity, interval training). eg: Max resistance for 2 mins, then slow down for 1 min. The key with cardio is to trick your mind into resting, but having your body push itself.

Are you doing low intensity work or high intensity? Or somewhere inbetween.

The wiki in r/fit has some good resources in the programs section that you could check out to get a better idea

You should be getting similar effects to cardio with proper lifting providing you are moving heavy weight and lifting with speed and control. If you're not sweating from weight lifting, you're likely lifting too light or not pushing the bar fast enough.

Your heart should be beating by the end of your set.

If you looking for endurance improvements than HIIT cardio or full body resistance exercise are your best options.

Examples: pushing a prowler, using a sled, farmers walk, tire flips are all full body resistance movements which improve endurance.

Here is a video on the basics of HIIT cardio:

cardio kills gains bro.

but to answer your question, yes, upping the time/distance, resistance, changing to more difficult types of cardio, etc. will all improve your cardio capacity
