No, red giants are generally older than main sequence stars, as red giants have no hydrogen left for fuel, and burn helium instead. where as Main Sequence stars burn hydrogen for fuel.

What are featureless galaxies that contain old red main-sequence stars and red giants called?
With red giants and main sequence stars they are not entirely featureless, therefore there is no name for them.

The basic luminosity classes are: I for supergiants, III for giants, and V for main-sequence stars.
How much farther away are the red giants compared to the main-sequence of stars?
Red giants are a later stadium of main sequence stars, there is no relation between distance and position in the Hertzsprung Russell diagram.
What is the general size of a main sequence?
It can have many different sizes. Only the largest giants are no longer main sequence stars.
