Why was oxygen absent from earth's early atmosphere?
Oxygen is an extremely chemically active element, which is why things can burn in our current atmosphere.

Only later, when photosynthesis was used by green plants, was there a source of free oxygen.
Why does sulfur burn more rapidly in oxygen than in air?
Well, oxygen supports burning. Fire needs fuel, oxygen and a spark or another source of ignition. So the more oxygen there is, the faster your substance will burn! There is 21% oxygen in air, and when you have an atmosphere of oxygen, it can go to quite high concentrations. So sulphur will burn in an atmosphere which has a higher oxygen content.
