Answer 1

Flag football is simillar to contact/tackle football. Except you pull a "flag" rather than tackling the individual.  Also, powder puffs will not usually have a full11 players per team on the field.

As for the sport itself, football, is a very complicated sport to explain.  Date a highschool foot ball jock, if not watch some college and pro games and go to your local library and checkout a book on football. Also do an internet search.

But here's my simple explanation without getting into schemes, tactics and rules of the sport.  Basically you have 11 men on each team during a play.

There are two halfs to a game and each have has two quarters which are 15 minutes long.  Each side has 3 time outs to use per half.

Offensively, the goal is to make it to the other side of the field to score.  There are two ways of scoring offensively, a touchdown is seven points, and to do this you have to physically reach the opponents end zone.  The other way is kicking a field goal for three points, which is basically kicking the foot ball between the uprights of the opponents end zone.  

Now to get to the end zone you have to do it in 10 yard increments, and you have four chances(downs) to get all or part of those 10 yards, if you don't get the ten yards then you turn the ball over to your opponent.  Of course you can go more than 10 yards during a run or a pass, you just need 10 yards to get another set of downs.

Each time you score you "kickoff" the ball to your opponent who will then have an opportunity to score, as described above.  You also have a kickoff at the begining of each half, a coin toss prior to the game determines which team kicks and who receives during the begining of each half

Defensively, you have to prevent the other team from scoring mainly by preventing them from getting their 10 yards so they will have to turn the ball over by "punting" or running out of downs. You can also score two points defensively if you sack the ball carier in their own endzone.

I believe it is similar to regular football, except there are flags and NO TACKLING. You might Google it, but different leagues have different rules. I think there are seven 'man' teams.
