Answer

It means corrections. Think of marking the document with a red pen to make corrections.

I would write it as redlines not red lines, however.

Answer

I think he's referring to the edits that he made to the document. Back when most changes were done manually, you would mark them with a red pen. The term is still used today, even when the edits are done electronically.
