Why do elephants flap their ears so much?

The reason why dogs and birds pant through their mouths and elephants flap their large ears, is to control (reduce) their temperature. Some animals can sweat through their skins and cool themselves as this sweat evaporates from their skin. However, dogs, birds and elephants (and perhaps some other animals) can not sweat so they either evaporate water in their mouths or pump blood into their 'radiator' sized ears to cool themselves.

Why do African elephants have bigger ears than Asian ears?

It's the other way around. African elephants have bigger ears. The theory is that since elephants can't sweat, they use their ears - which are full of blood vessels close to the surface - to cool themselves down with. And as Africa is generally hotter than Asia, African elephants need bigger ears to keep from overheating. Also. African elephants generally live in the open, while Asian elephants spend more time in the woods. Bigger ears would get quite worn and torn if they kept brushing up against trees and branches all the time.
