How to show, that $Proj \, A[x_0,...,x_n] = Proj \, \mathbb{Z}[x_0,...,x_n] \times_\mathbb{Z} Spec \, A$? It is used in Hartshorne, Algebraic geometry, section 2.7.

Show that you have an isomorphism on suitable open subsets, and that the isomorphisms glue. The standard ones on $\mathbb{P}^n_a$ should suffice. Use that $$\mathbb{Z}[x_0, \ldots, x_n] \otimes_\mathbb{Z} A \cong A[x_0,..., \ldots, x_n].$$ Maybe you could prove the isomorphism by using the universal property of projective spaces too, but that might be overkill / not clean at all.
