On the Boston map of Assassin's Creed 3, I see an exclamation mark with a red border. When I go to them on the map, I see a person wearing civilian clothing, with a gun, running. What are they?

Caravans under attack are always located in the Frontier. Head there and you'll see a shield icon on the map - that's your caravan:
Get there, help fend off the Redcoats, and you're good.

Hunting and selling pelts can be quite profitable, though a bit time-consuming. I like hunting wolves - they travel in packs and can be killed instantly with the hidden blade (unlike bears which take 3 hits) for a pelt in perfect condition. Beaver pelts are good as well. Beavers are slow and easy to track, and their pelts sell for boatloads.
I'm only on sequence 6 so far, and I'm also making decent cash from opening chests around the world, though I suspect this source will dry up shortly. :)
Haven't done much crafting yet since I need to gather more resources and artisans, but it doesn't seem like an efficient money-maker, since making the same item increases its cost for a while.
Sending your assassin recruits on missions is another source of income. It's not very quick, but it's pretty hands-off and passive.

Based on the below Youtube video, it's a courier mission. This also matches your description of a person in civilian clothes running. You can see the icon at about 35 seconds.
