They do mostly but in some situations (game days, events, etc) they can be delayed or very crowded. As for which line to take ... leaving the stadium take the first train that arrives. If it is a blue train, you won't have to transfer, if orange you will.
Skye1 and I made the mistake of waiting for the yellow train at DCA when we came back from Dublin in Feb. Blue train was there ... we could have got on that one and been on our way but we ended up waiting about 15 minutes for the yellow train to show up. Didn't save any time.
I ran your trip both on shortest time and shortest transfers and it comes up at 31 minutes regardless.
