Do 120/240hz TVs force all input 30/60hz such as on Xbone/PS4 to be multiplied?

CAGiversary!
I have a 32" 720p crap brand "envision" tv

I'm looking to grab an LG/Sony/Samsung for black Friday and I've been avoiding the 120/240hz TVs thinking it would force this.

Also would PS3/Xbox 360/Wii U be better or worse?

Would the 720p content get upscaled to 1080? I don't even know if that something different than just stretching the image across the screen

honestly speaking, unless you are sitting one foot next to your tv, you would not even notice the difference between 720p and 1080p. if you are planning to buy a 1080p tv that is 32 inches. it is just a waste of money. the only reason you should buy a 120 hz tv is if you are buying an atleast 40 inch tv

 
You need to be careful with refresh rates. A lot of brands advertise 120/240hz but are really much lower. Make sure to read reviews before you buy. And (I'm not entirely sure on this bit) I think the human has a harder time perceiving refresh rates higher than 120hz (i.e., you can easily notice the jump from 60 to 120hz, but probably can't tell the jump from 120 to 240hz) so a 240hz TV might not be worth it. 

Also, there aren't too many sources that run at an FPS higher than 60. Very few console games and BD movies run at 60 FPS. If you buy a 120hz TV, it'll basically display "in-between" images to fill the gaps to take 24/30/60fps video or game and display a 120hz image. I'll admit though, a few 120/240hz TVs I've seen do actually provide a much more fluid image. I wouldn't mind having one.
