Remember Dark Energy is repulsive, the more the faster the universe expands (indeed accelerates), so the faster it would cool down and increase its size, not the other way. Now, no one knows what it is. For instance, if Dark Energy would rather be some other geometric effect, it could have a different ending than just if it is a cosmological constant term. So far, though, all experimental data do not favor anything else that is not compatible with just a cosmological constant ... We'll need to wait few years (~10 years) to get to know much better this with missions and ground experiments that are undergoing or planned to be launched.
C. Series
Consider resistors in a circuit - if all the resistors in the circuit are in series and one of the resistors fails then no current can flow thru the circuit,
If the resistors are in parallel then then each resistor experiences the same voltage drop regardless of whether or not any resistor in particular is carrying current.
The color of light that a star emits is somewhat related to its age, whereas the color of light that we actually <em>observe</em> from a star is related to the speed at which it's moving with respect to us.
