"Red state" and "blue state" are terms used to describe states in the United States that typically vote predominantly for either the Republican Party (red states) or the Democratic Party (blue states) in presidential elections. The terms are used to quickly indicate the political leanings of a particular state.

No. Texas has not voted Democratic in a presidential election since 1976.
No, in the 2000, 2004 and 2008 Presidential elections Oregon voted for the Democratic candidate in the Presidential elections and while Indiana did select Obama in 2008 they chose George W. Bush over Al Gore in 2000 and over John Kerry in 2004. Blue State versus Red State is not a guarantee in Presidential elections.
It depends on who the majority typically vote for, democrat (blue) or Republican (Red). The answer is always based on speculation and is always up for grabs in any election. If you look at recent times such as the 2004 presidential election where the majority voted for Bush I'd have to answer red. However just to keep the pundits on their toes they have a Democratic Governor and Lieutenant Governor and a third of the US Representatives are Democrats. In the Kentucky General Assembly the Democrats control the House of Representatives and Republicans control the Senate.

Yes because it had a major impact on the state of Nevada with the Democratic Party now in charge of the Nevada State Legislature of both the state assembly and the state senate. All 16 counties went red (except on the 2016 presidential election for Washoe County) and pro 2nd Amendment with the rejection of Nevada Question 1 ballot.
