Not all of them are.

But the ones refered to as this are usually called this because they do not produce their own energy (i.e. Autotrophic...Photosynthesis) but rather actively hunt prey to get energy.

Which is what animals do, so they are animal-like in that manner.

How do you Compare animallike protists that have flagella to those that have cilia?

Animallike protists with flagella, such as euglenoids and dinoflagellates, typically use their single or few flagella for propulsion, allowing for swift movement in aquatic environments. In contrast, those with cilia, like paramecia, possess numerous short hair-like structures that enable them to move in a coordinated, wave-like manner, providing greater control and stability. While both types of protists use their appendages for locomotion and feeding, the structural differences between flagella and cilia result in distinct movement patterns and adaptations to their environments.
