Not exactly. You have to take into acount lower case means minor chords, upper case major chords. The way you wrote, all are major chords. You can do the same, a, G, F, E, E7, a, etc. Or I prefer Am, G, F, E etc. So La is A major, la is A minor.
Another thing in addition to your translation of do re mi, are the in between notes. Mi Bemol is "Eb" or E flat. Fa sustonido is F#, etc. That will be important too.

No, it is the tonic of the scale i.e the start. At least it was in my piano lessons and I think it is spelt doh ray me far so lar tee doh.
Intersting point. That spelling just sounds really British to me.  In flamenco, the music is refering to Guitar so, do re mi fa sol la si do is the way, and yeah always c d e f g a b c. So confusing using both terms when you have a "Si" chord, "Do you mean C chord or Si chord?" "Si señor!". It is funny because they are one fret apart.
Anyway, it does not work so well for "tonic of the scale" no matter what note, because it is specifically a MAJOR scale and there are different types of scales. For example, flamenco has Phrygian tonic, like Solea is described mi fa sol la si do re mi. If "do" had to be tonic, you would find nerdy flamenco's describing solea as: do re bemol mi bemol fa sol la bemol si bemol. And of course they don't!
