Are they correct?
....I think it would be Он није доктоp, он није цвет!.
....But that's only a letter, so it's OK.

Why does this alternation happen? Well, long ago the Proto-Slavic language had a semivowel ь (yer), which in serbian developped either into an a or it dropped out. I assume before that happened the forms of the adjective dobar were: добьр, добьра, добьро. In the first case ь became a, and in the next two it dropped out.

Hard consonants + ov cveT - cveT-OV-i
Soft consonants + ev ključ - ključ-ev-i (+ž, sh)

There were 2 semi-vowels, they were shorter than usual vowels. And firstly it turned to be difficult to pronounce 2 of them so short in the same word. So if they were in one word together one of them became stronger (longer, as a normal vowel), and another weaker. Then gradually semi-vowels in strong positions turned to normal vowels, and those in weak positions just disappeared.
For example, the position at the end of the word was weak...
So it was:
добьръ
ъ disappeared
ь turned to а
добьра
You see? Only one semi-vowel! It's weak. It disappeared...
And so on.

Well, in serbian, ž,š and č are not considered soft at all. The only soft consonants are j, lj, nj, ć and đ (ј,љ,њ,ћ,ђ) after which -ev must come. Though -ev can come after č, ž, š, dž, št, žd, r and c in some cases, but I don't know if it's 100% full-proof.
