If you were playing the blues with a progression of E7 - A7 - B7 would
that be a I-IV-V progression or would it be a 5-5-5 progression with every
chord being a key change? With the three keys being A-D-E.

You can look at anything 5 different ways, but my
take would be a simple I - IV - V. Blues didn't
originate with music majors :-P

I'd go 5-5-5 ( all mixo-lydians , and I don't care about the keys) -
it's just simpler to think that way for me. 2c - e

It's a blues. Blues bends and breaks many conventions of traditional
harmony. This is a I IV V progression, but you can't treat it as being
in a strictly diatonic key.
There are many approaches, but the one you suggest isn't really it,
because there is no real key change. It does work to play a Mixolydian
scale over each of the three chords. You can also play major and minor
pentatonics, blues scales, and other things. Best to use a mix of
strategies, steal ideas from the masters, and most of all, use your
ears.

I-IV-V, because the it sounds as if it has the same tonal centre if you just
use the major chords, in fact you can interchange them for a bit of
variety. - I do.

Major 7 or dom 7? I'd guess dom 7, and it's pretty much closest to A.

If not otherwise specified (just "E7"), it's dominant. But that's a
I7 - IV7 - V7 in E. You can look at it as playing mixolydian over each
chord (a temporary shift in what could be regarded as key signature),
but that pattern still wants to resolve to E.

I mistyped - yes, E. The first 'un.
