For the first question, place a flagpole in the editor and name it something (in my example we'll name it flag1).  Now name your medic something (medic1).  Now, in a trigger On Activation field or in an init field of the flagpole or medic write:
flag1 setflagowner medic1

...or is it

medic1 setflagowner flag1 ?

Uhhh, damn, now I can't remember.  Give both a try and see if one of them works ::).

As for question 2, let me look around a bit and I'll get back to you.

EDIT:
Ok, put the following in the init field of the flagpole for the USA flag:

Quote

this setFlagTexture "USA_vlajka.pac"

Also, put this for the Soviet flag:

Quote

this setFlagTexture "rus_vlajka.pac"

Correct syntax for the first question is:
flag1 setFlagOwner medic1
