"1-6" players. Does this mean a person can play alone?

YES! The solo play version is REALLY GREAT!!! The solo games last about 10 to 15 minutes each, and you basically play to get a high score (they have a small chart to rate your score) and it is VERY challenging and fun. The way the cards are set up, you get a different set of challenges each time so each game is unique. I find it very diverting because the play takes full concentration and focus. Also, the game itself is so very high quality which also makes it a pleasure to play. I love to play games “anytime” in my downtime (meaning not depending on coordinating with other people) so a really well crafted solo option is really appreciated.

Where is it manufactured? Thanks

Everything available on this (and every other) board game is on the BGG website (Board Game Geek). In general, I believe the publisher decides the manufacturer and is probably dependent on print run. I don’t know where this one was manufactured.

would color blind kids have hard time with this?

Perhaps not. There is no resource that it is green. There is a Brick red, grey, yellow, blue, and I think that's it. Best bet is to find a picture of the resource cubes on the web, and show it to color blind kids. I'm not color blind, so I'm not a good resource to answer this question.

Can my intelligent 7 year old granddaughter learn to play and enjoy this game?

Yes but keep it to 2, 3 players. The more players the less control you have, the tougher the game, it can be a brain burner, it’s somewhat a puzzle. The box says 14 plus, but if you scale it back player wise, same age players, it should be OK.
