From a technical standpoint, a red dragon's fire originates from its flame gland (Inside the Dragon). Therefore, with the blood curse of (exposure) from CR Bloodhunter, would it take damage from its own breath weapon?

No, because it's not an attack. Anything that doesn't include an attack roll is automatically excluded from the Blood Curse. On top of that, Bloated Agony only triggers if a creature takes multiple attacks in the same turn... even if you treat the Dragon's breath as an "attack", it still can't combine its breath weapon with its multi-attack feature... if a dragon uses their breath weapon, that's the only thing they're doing that turn (although there might be some subrace of dragon somewhere that gets the option to use multiattack and their breath weapon at the same time).
Ah, I can see the confusion a bit more here, but the answer is still no. The fire does not damage the dragon, just as a player who casts the Dragon's Breath spell does not take damage from using the spell, even if they don't have immunity or resistance to the element they're breathing out. Even that aside, the Blood Curse of Exposure only affects resistance, while red dragons have immunity.

After re-reading Blood Curse of Bloated Agony, I'm not sure why you think it would cause the dragon's breath weapon to hurt it?

Thanks, I made a mistake while writing this and meant exposure, not agony.
