A protostar is when a large gaseous cloud is coming together under gravity, in the early stages of a stars formation. The gaseous mass of the protostar has not got to the stage at which nuclear fusion reactions are taking place. The gas becomes hotter and more dense, until finally there is enough pressure and temperature to allow the hydrogen to fuse together, giving off energy as a main sequence star.

some, but not much. the principle componant of a red giant's core is helium. lithium is not a product of stellar nuclear reactions, so any lithium in a star would have been there from when the gas cloud collapsed into a protostar.
