Scientifically, is it possible for a planet to develop entirely flora lifeforms with no fauna present?

It's never been observed, so as far as we can tell, no

First tell me the difference between flora and fauna

Fauna would start as flora's parasite, and gradually evolve into a symbiotic relationship.

Evolution always favors organisms that find a way to take advantage of others. 80% of all animal species are predators and parasites.

What would the fauna eat, if flora wasn't present? Flora always must come first.

Thinking everything has to be either flora or fauna is outdated. Fungi and several types of bacteria are their own thing separate from either of these categories. Fungi was historically thought of as flora because they act sort of like plants, but they're a completely different form of life.
Alien biology would probably be even harder to fit into these two categories. You could get cells with some features similar to plants, some features similar to animals, and weird stuff we don't even have on Earth.
