Notation and Tablature is written as if you don't have a capo. The capo transposes to a different ABSOLUTE key, but you should still think of playing in the key open. That is why flamenco guitars usually don't have dots, because if you know your neck well, it can be confusing in higher positions.
Anyway so learn music with no capo first if it is an issue, then put it on later. Always refer to tabs if there are no fingerings in the score because in flamenco the fingerings are super important, more so then the notes themselves in some cases.
Finally, you say D with capo 2 should be literally 5th fret for absolute pitch of E, but you see tab at 7. Well, tab is also transposed by capo, so it is actually the 9th fret of the guitar. HOpe that helps.
