Will these two cherry shrimp breed?

I'm not really sure if these are female or male but I heard red are females and clear are male

Males tend to be clearer, but I have some that are quite red. Also, some females can be clearer. A better way to tell is to look for the saddle - a yellowish patch around the "shoulders" of the shrimp. I'm not sure but the shrimp on the left in the second pic seems to have one. If the shrimp has a saddle, it is a female.

Adult females also have thicker tails that are rounded on the bottom, while males' tails are thinner

So if it has a saddle it is pregnant?

No. If it has a saddle, it is sexually mature and capable of becoming pregnant.
