In general, you're better off asking Flask questions in Flask forums, as there is no particular relationship between Flask and web2py (other than that they are both Python web frameworks).
Flask uses Jinja2 for templates, so I suggest you have a look at the relevant section of the Jinja2 documention: http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/dev/templates/. In short, {% ... %} is for statements (somewhat equivalent to web2py's {{ ... }}), and {{ ... }} is for expressions to be written into the template (equivalent to web2py's {{= ... }}).
