Is it moral for God to order genocide? And is it immoral for his followers to disobey the order?

Divine Command Theory deals with this question. Our moral duties are determined by God's commands. It would be immoral to disobey. If these events happened as described, we have God clearly stating reasons for his judgement and then orders Joshua/Samuel to carry out the judgement. 

Before you start with the lady drowning her kids in the bathtub, don't. You are comparing a theocracy to a confused woman. IMO God does not issue commands like that anymore because the NT was the culmination of his revelation and such a command would be contrary to the whole purpose of Jesus' death.
