After a military death, the flag should be flown at half-staff for 30 days as a mark of respect. This period begins on the day of the service member's interment. Additionally, for those who died in combat, the flag may be flown at half-staff for a longer duration, depending on specific military protocols and directives. Always check for any updates or specific instructions from military authorities regarding flag protocol.
A flag is flown at half-staff for 30 days for the death of a sitting or former President, 10 days for the death of a sitting Vice-President.
30 days after death
When a president dies, the flag should be flown at half-staff for 30 days as a sign of mourning. This period begins on the day of the president's death and continues until sunset on the 30th day. However, if the death occurs while the flag is already at half-staff for another reason, it may remain at half-staff for the duration of the original mourning period.

Capturing the enemy's flag was long linked with morale, to the point that men would die to prevent the flag being even in danger of capture. Military trainers simply used this idea and practised it as an exercise.

I'm not sure what flag you're talking about. The US flag had no specified standard dimensions before 1912, so it was as long and as wide as whoever was making it felt like. The stars could also be arranged according to the whim of the maker; the US military had a standard design they used, but other people could do pretty much whatever they wanted as long as the number of stars was correct. The standard proportions since 1912 is that the flag should be 1.9 times as wide as it is tall.
You should grieve for however long you feel you need. The death of a loved one can be very tough to handle so you should just take your time.
