A roux is exactly what you have described equal parts of either oil, butter, or even fat drippings mixed with flour heated over a low medium heat it is the base for many brown or white sauces and gravy. Also can be used to thicken a sauce or gravy. As the flour heats it gets thicker adding water will thin the sauce or gravy until it cools. When it cools it will thicken slightly.
A roux is at its simplest flour cooked (i.e. fried) in any fat or oil, it is used as a base or thickener in many sauces or soups. As it cooks the flour turns color from white, to tan, to brown, to black depending on cooking time and intensity of flavor desired. Preparing a good black roux is very tricky as its very easy to burn, producing an unpleasant scorched flavor, but a few dishes (e.g. some Cajun recipes) require black roux.

Reducing the sauce is a way to improve flavor and thicken. All reducing means is to boil off excess water. You can also make a roue from flour and butter. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a small saucepan, add 2 tablespoons of flour to this and whisk until well blended (not not burn). Add this to sauces while whisking and bring to near boil.

How do you make white flour butter roux?
Using equal amounts of flour and butter, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the flour. Let it cook, stirring constantly on medium heat for just a few minutes, but don't let it get dark; you want it to stay a light color. Then add milk or cream, depending on what you are making, or what the recipe calls for. Stir constantly while adding the liquid to keep it from lumping. If lumps do form you can use a whisk (or fork if you don't have a whisk) to stir out the lumps, then cook for two or three minutes. I prefer to use plain (all purpose) flour, but you can use self-rising flour. Add salt or other seasonings to taste. But keep in mind, if you use salted butter and self-rising flour, both of these already have salt in them, so you won't use as much salt as you would if using plain (all purpose) flour.
Why use hard fat for rubbing in?
