No. Red Eye is based on a story and screenplay written by Carl Ellsworth and Dan Foos.
Red Eye is the term given to a late night flight from which passengers typically arrive with red, bloodshot eyes, hence the name Red Eye flight.
Lisa (Rachel McAdams) was raped. She says to Jackson (Cillian Murphy), "It happened in a parking lot...the scar. Two years ago, in the middle of the day. He held a knife to my throat the whole time. Ever since I've been trying to convince myself of one thing over and over..." Craven confirms this in the commentary.
This is unknown. However, Jackson never lies, so this could confirm that he did kill his parents, although it's possible that he was just joking around.
Because Lisa stabbed him in the front of the throat, nowhere near the carotid arteries and jugular veins which run up the sides of the neck. His wound was not life threatening.
Jackson was not the assassin; he was just the manager of the operations. He was the thinker. It was his job to set everything up. Lisa fought back. She wasn't physically stronger, but mentally stronger she was. She was more cunning than him in the end.
They had already gone through the security check and were in the secure area of the airport.
Jackson was shot in the shoulder and the upper right chest. He might have been hit in the lung, but the movie does not show him dying. If you didn't see it happen, it probably didn't happen.
The best guess is that he stole a car.
He either had connections or he found out what seat she was in by following her all over so that he could ask for the seat next to hers when he bought his ticket.
Jackson Rippner sounds a lot like Jack the Ripper.
