I thought there was a rule that sort of said that if you had an accident
that caused a red flag, and other drives on the track could no longer
improve, then you would get a penalty of some sort.

Was I dreaming that or is it real?

And, talking about penalties, I see Sainz said he couldn't avoid Perez
but I think he (Sainz) is looking for trouble unless there was a delay
in showing the flags.

I don't see anything about that in the Sporting Regs.

No mention of a summons among the official documents.

Between turns 7 (apparently unnamed) and 8 (Portier) there is one FIA
Marshal Light on the left, just at the kink before Portier proper, and
three marshal posts: left near turn 7, left between the kink and
Portier, and right inside Portier.

A little more detail at Pitpass:
"While it was initially felt that Sainz might have ignored warnings of
the Perez incident, and therefore liable to a penalty, the Spaniard had
indeed hit the brakes but was unable to stop in time and the incident
wasn't even noted by the stewards".
