Every time I open a new document/artboard (File > New), I have this huge red outline around my artboard.  Then, when I save things, it is saving it as the red box is my artboard edges, so everything I save ends up very small.  What is this and how do I get rid of it/keep it from populating when starting new?

It seems that you have bleeds active. You can reset it when creating a new document in New document Panel or if you open a new document you can reset them from Document Setup.
