estas ruĝa = ruĝas
estas blua = bluas
both are valid, as all adjectives can be turned into verbs like that.

It is wrong in word order. Should be "Cxu la flago estas" instead of "Cxu estas la flago"

It's overstating things to say that word order isn't important. Rather, word order is a little bit more flexible than it is in English.

That is not true. For verbs like 'esti' the order matters very much as there is no way to denote an "object" for it.

I thought the same thing, but you technically could respond with "Yes, the flag is red or blue."
