Return/exchange your defective phone. (as I said in your other post)

That's the shutter animation, same happens in my moto g3 as well. So it not a matter of concern.

The screen is acting as a flash when you take the photo. If you take a pic using the front camera in a dark room, you will see a flash icon in the middle of the yellow screen.

As for the image reversing, take a picture of yourself wearing a shirt with writing on it. You'll notice that before you take a picture of yourself, the image on the screen will be a reflection (backward writing). Once the pic is taken, the picture flips to show the correct view (forward, readable writing), like it should.

Your phone is probably fine.
