A red-shift caused by the Doppler-effect indicates that the object is rapidly moving away from the observer.

Note that at extreme distances, red-shift is not caused by the Doppler-effect, but primarily by the expansion of space between the object and the observer.

How and did they figure out about the big bang?

One important clue is the Doppler effect - the redshift of distant galaxies. It turns out that the greater the distance to a galaxy, the faster it moves away from us.One important clue is the Doppler effect - the redshift of distant galaxies.

Why do scientist study distant galaxies to learn about early galaxy's?

If you look at a distant galaxy, the light from the galaxy has travelled for perhaps a hundred million years, a billion years, or up to an age close to the age of the Universe (13 billion years or so), depending on the galaxy's distance. Thus, the light you see shows you how the Universe was billions of years ago.

When you observe a distant galaxy whose photons have traveled for 10 billion years before reaching Earth you are seeing that galaxy as it was when the universe was?

Yes. If the photons have travelled 10 billion years, that means you are seeing the galaxy as it was 10 billion years ago.

Scientists believe that the more distant galaxies formed?

Scientists believe that galaxies formed earlier in the universe's history, with the most distant galaxies being some of the first to have formed after the Big Bang. Studying these distant galaxies can provide insights into the early stages of galaxy formation and evolution.
