How do you express the "There" of this sentence in Esperanto? Would the translation really just be Estas problemo?

Yes, that's all there is to it. I might be inclined to say "Ekzistas problemo", but that's a matter of personal taste.

Pensu esperante:

Problemigi, problemiĝi, problemumi, problemadi, ktp.

Yes. "esti" translates this form too.

Estas multaj homoj
There's a lot of people

Estas kato sur la tablo
There's a cat on the table

Sometimes it will also cause misunderstanding.
Ekz. Estas problemo may mean It's a problem. So it's better to use "ekzisti" in that case.

It shouldn't. You'd have to say "tio estas problemo" in that case, I think. I'm not sure I can imagine a situation in which "estas problemo" can be read in both ways and according to the way you read it, you give a very different turn to the overall meaning.
So it's better to use "ekzisti" in that case.
To be sincere, I've never seen "ekzistas problemo" used. I think I would go with "ni/mi havas problemon", or if I am supposed/inclined to provide an explanation right away, "estas jena problemo: ..." or "estas problemo je tio, ke..."

Jen nova problemo!

Cxu ni havas problemon?

"Estas problemo tie" or "Estas problemo tie ĉi" seems to me a good translation.

To me "it's a problem" and "there's a problem" seems the same... And "estas problemo" can mean both, especially when you say "Estas problemo, ke...".
