Dschubba is a binary star system with two stars: a blue star and a white dwarf star. The blue star is the primary star and the white dwarf is the secondary star.
Yes, far smaller. A red dwarf is a whole star in and of itself. A white dwarf is the collapsed remnant of the core of a low-to medium mass star. A white dwarf may be about the size of Earth.
The correct order is red giant followed by white dwarf. A red giant is a stage in the life cycle of a star where it has expanded and cooled. After the red giant phase, the star sheds its outer layers and the core collapses to form a white dwarf.
No. A pulsar is a neutron star.
No. A dwarf star is a small star. A white dwarf is just one particular type of dwarf star, but there are other types.

A white dwarf could not become a red dwarf. A white dwarf is a remnant of a dead star. A red dwarf is a star with a very low mass.
No. A white dwarf is the remnant of a low to medium mass star.
Depending on the size of the blue-white star it may be a white dwarf, a main sequence or even a supergiant star.
A white dwarf star's temperature can range from approximately 7000K to 19000K.
No, a typical white dwarf star is roughly the size of the Earth.
A white dwarf is much larger than a neutron star.
A white dwarf is the remnant of a low to medium mass star.
