It means failing to obey any type of traffic control device (stop sign, do not enter sign, semaphore/stop light). If you received a citation for failing to obey a traffic control device it means you didn't stop at a stop sign completely, your drove through a red light, etc.

If the traffic light is not powered, you are to treat it as a all-way stop sign. I'm assuming that's what you mean by that. If the traffic light is broken, likely there will be utility workers out there working to fix it and you follow their instructions if any.
Red was chosen to mean stop in traffic signals because it is a color that is easily noticeable and stands out against the surrounding environment. Its association with danger and aggression also helps to convey a sense of urgency for drivers to come to a halt.
The red flashing traffic light means that you are to come to a stop, yield to other traffic and then you can procede when the way is clear.
