I don’t know much about bell peppers. I’m guessing the yellow ones are African, green europe, blue America?

They are all the exact same plant. They change color the longer they are allowed to ripen. green > yellow > orange > red.

Yes and no. Green bell peppers are underripe. But the final color depends on the variety. A red bell pepper doesn't turn yellow or orange, just directly to red. Yes, it looks odd!

Purple peppers and white peppers also exist.
