Is a red giant star hotter than a white dwarf star?

No. Color, for stars, is (almost) entirely dependent on "surface" temperature, and white stars are significantly hotter then red ones. (The order from coolest to hottest goes brown, red, orange, yellow, yellow-white, white, blue-white, blue).

Why are blue stars hotter than red stars?

It's because of the temperature of the star. The temperature defines the colour of the star. A red star is cooler than a blue one. Imagine heating an iron rod. It will start off black, then red, then orange, then yellow and if you continue heating it, it will turn white. If you could heat it a lot more it would turn blue.
