How do Edgar and Heathcliff mourn Catherine?

Edgar is quiet and stays in the room where Catherine lays, restless and grieving. Heathcliff, is angry and takes out his anger on Isabella. He then goes to see Cathy after her death and Nelly spots him outside. She goes to see him on top of the hill outside her window. While there Heathcliff asks if Catherine mentioned him in her dying moments, Nelly replies that she was not even conscious enough to hold her own child. With this Heathcliff smashes his head against a tree and curses her spirit, telling Cathy to haunt him for eternity, as he would rather be with the ghost of her than without her at all.

How did Heathcliffs presence affect the relationships between family members?

Heathcliff caused much competition between family member's in Wuthering Hieghts. Heathcliff created a power struggle between Catherine and her father. "showing how her pretended insolence, which he thought real, had more power over Heathcliff than his kindness: how the boy would do her bidding in anything, and his only when it suited her inclination". In this quotation we can observe that Catherine's rather sadistic manipulative power over Heathcliff frustrates Mr Earnshaw in that he cannot understand how his kindness is meaningless to Heathcliff whilst Catherine's cruelty is so productive in catching Heathcliff's attention. What's more Heathcliff's presence brings immense jealously to Edgar and frequently causes competition and conflict between the two. This in turn results in Edgar and his fathers relationship diminishing as a result of the latter, in his advancing old age, believing everyone in the house to hate Heathcliff purely to spite him. This of course is paranoia and does not aid Heathcliff's situation as an outsider. I hope that this helps a little bit.

Was heathcliff eager to be a good father to linton?

I would say no because if he wanted to be a good father, he would shower him with affection, love and acceptance. The only reason he tolerated Linton is because he wanted Linton to survive until he married Catherine, which would make Heathcliff in control of her land when Linton finally died. This was all part of Heathcliff's plan of vengeance to the Earnshaws.
