Strange about the pink dots. Maybe it's time for the *istD to say bye bye. I have no personal experience with the *istD, but it is pretty old. That said, it would be fine to practice on it, but if you're ready to take the next step, upgrade the body to a K-x.
If your original picture was straight out of the camera JPEG, there are probably settings in the camera itself to adjust saturation and contrast. That might help your colors look a bit more lively.
I'm guessing the plastic cover on the flash goes over the actual flashy part? That's a flash diffuser meant to lessen the harshness that can occur when using flash. Makes the light "softer."
It more like a patches not a dot. I will try to find another image that showing more then this image. The spot (patch) is more obvious when print on photo paper.
Diffuser - that is the word I looking for

I think I have about 3 dead or damaged pixels but they were all blues. They are very obvious on dark images.
The pink spot or patch does follow people faces around. I just have no idea why it always happen on people faces, cheeks, noses and foreheads
Does not happen on some other parts of the images and only happen when I use the flash. I took some photos outdoor in bright sunlight with this camera before, didn't have this problem. I took with other lens tho,it was a big lens I think it was Sigma 200mm ( my sister won;t give me that one) LOL
