Is gingivitis a first sign of tooth decay?

Nope. It's a sign of gum disease. This can lead to tooth decay but not necessarily. In principle if you have bad enough gum disease your teeth could fall out even if they were completely healthy. Don't panic. This would take a long time. It's important to floss regularly, but if you think you have gingivitis you should see your dentist.
