US liver: Ultrasound (us) of the liver will allow the doctor to visualize the anatomy of the liver i.e. Size, contour and organ density. Us of the liver can rule out mass lesions (benign and malignant) and assess for fatty change. Doppler will allow visualization of the blood flow to the liver. Good luck.

Bowel contents: Eating before a liver ultrasound can increase food/gas content in your intestines which could interfere with the images.

Impossible: to fathom a guess. Red color likely indicates a Color Doppler representation of blood flow, but no way to tell if it is normal or abnormal based on limited info given.
