Answer 1

It will come out Auburn, Use a med dark brown.

Answer 2

Did you just have it done at the salon recently?

If so, they should correct it for you for free.  

I know that natural red hair can be dyed brown, but it's always a crapshoot what color, exactly, red hair will turn during coloring because of the orange-y undertones.

But hair that's been dyed red, I wouldn't try to overdye that.  I'd let a salon do it, even if you have to pay for it again.
