Yes, the player received a red card from the referee during the match.
A referee can only show cards to players, and since the referee himself is not a player he cannot receive red cards. A referee may remove themselves of their duties if they are unable to continue.
An assistant referee DOES NOT need a whistle. They need a uniform (shirt, shorts, socks) and an assistant referee flag. That's pretty much it... oh, and soccer cleats will probably help!

The strips on a referee uniform have no symbolism. They are used because of the high contrast between WHITE and BLACK. Thus it is easy for a human eye to locate. Futhermore by selecting neutral colors the likely hood of a referee being mistaken for a player is reduced.
The first red card was shown by referee Ken Aston, who invented the yellow and red cards.
Could it have been red.
In the middle of the back. The "placard" is also sometimes referred to as a "placket": it denotes the official's position.
