Here is the obligatory, "if there is a mound, you are on the wrong field" snippet

Q1: If Flex, who is the starting pitcher, leaves the game by having DP play defense for Flex, can she re-enter as the pitcher?

Unless she had been removed from that position by rule, yes.

Q2: If pitcher is Flex, then substituted for, she has 1 re-entry. Can she reenter as pitcher?

Same as above.

Substitutes deal with offensive position ONLY. And unless, as noted above, the pitcher has been removed by rule or it is a co-ed game, there are zero restrictions on what defensive position a player takes.
