The governments money is tied to the economic and actual weath of the country.

If the government did print unlimited money this would de-value the money and make it worth less. This leads to hyper-inflation as is being witnessed in Zimbabwe and what was witnessed in Germany after the wall street crash.

What is difference between a red seal two dollar bill and one without?

Most bills with red seals are an older form of currency called U.S. Notes. U.S. Notes were essentially a parallel form of currency to Federal Reserve Notes, except they were issued directly by the government without involving the Fed. $2 and $5 were the most common U.S. notes, but there were also some $10 and $100 bills issued too. In the mid-1960s the government decided there was no purpose in having two parallel currency systems because they were entirely interchangeable. The Federal Reserve system was given sole authority over currency distribution and production of U.S. Notes ended around 1967. All currency printed after that time has been in the form of Federal Reserve Notes which carry a green seal. As far as value is concerned, $2 Fed notes are only worth face value if received in change. $2 U.S. notes are worth a small premium (50c or $1) to collectors, mostly because they're older and less common, but are otherwise entirely equivalent to their green counterparts.

Why does a 1953 5 dollar red seal indicate US Note rather than Federal Reserve?

U.S. Notes were first issued back in the 1860s. They were among the first currency not backed dollar-for-dollar with gold or silver, but simply with the "faith and credit" of the government. The concept was, and still is, that a strong government can be relied upon to try to maintain the purchasing power of its currency, and so long as individual citizens rely on that, precious metal backing is not always necessary. Unbacked currency also gives the government the ability to expand or contract the money supply in an effort to smooth out economic cycles. U.S. Notes were issued directly by the Federal Government, alongside silver and gold certificates, and eventually Federal Reserve Notes issued by the central bank. When certificates were discontinued, U.S. Notes and FRN's became effectively the same form of unbacked currency. The government then decided to combine all currency production and distribution under the central bank to eliminate duplication of effort. Because many more FRNs were in circulation than U.S. Notes, the latter were discontinued in the early 1960s.

What is a dollar bill with a small star after the serial number?

Historically, the "star" notes are released into the money supply to take the place of notes that are found to be defective after printing (and destroyed). These place-holder notes maintain the count of notes in a given serial number range. Star notes are considerably more scarce for any given series date than are ordinary notes. But not all will command a premium value above the face value of the bill.
