And more importantly, if we only scout a single alliance color through the day, should it be blue or red?

It seems like it would work, in theory. You'd cover every team eventually, and color wouldn't matter. Keep in mind, though, that at an event with 10 qual matches per team, you'll probably only get 4-6 matches per team, which might not be enough to get an idea of how good any given team actually is. If you can, contact a local team that scouts and ask if you can scout with them. This will allow you to get a more complete set of data, and hopefully learn the ropes of scouting from an experienced team.
