To sign 'flavor', form an 'open 8' handshape with your dominant hand by keeping your fingers spread and bending your middle finger forward. Bring your hand up to your face and touch the tip of your middle finger to your lips. You can tap your lips once or twice to convey the concept of taste or flavor.

Yes! In ASL, the same sign is used for both 'flavor' and 'taste'. The context of your conversation will make it clear which concept you are referring to.
No, 'favorite' is a different sign. While it also uses the 'open 8' handshape, 'favorite' is signed by tapping your middle finger on your chin, whereas 'flavor' is signed on the lips.
You can touch your lips once or tap them twice. A single, deliberate touch often acts as a verb (to taste), while a double tap is frequently used for the noun (a flavor or a taste).
