In the story, the niece recounts a tragic incident where her aunt, Mrs. Sappleton, lost her husband and two brothers in a hunting accident. They had gone out for a day of shooting and never returned, leading to a deep sense of loss for the family. The niece describes her aunt's peculiar behavior, as Mrs. Sappleton often speaks about her deceased family members as if they are still alive, reflecting her unresolved grief and longing for their return. This haunting memory sets the stage for the eerie atmosphere of the narrative.
No, Mrs. Sappleton is not aware of her niece's deception regarding her belief that her husband and brothers will return from hunting. She genuinely believes in their return, which contributes to the twist at the end of the story.
Mrs. Sappleton's niece makes up a story about her aunt's deceased husband and brothers returning from a hunting trip, adding to Framton's distress as he believes the ghosts are real based on her convincing storytelling and unexpected behavior. This increases his anxiety and causes him to flee the house in fear.

In the short story "The Open Window" By H.H Munro (Saki), Framton Nuttel is supposed to be undergoing a "nerve cure", so he is sent on some sort of rural vacation by his doctors. Mrs. Sappleton is a woman that Nuttel's sister knew, so she sends him to her house to stay for a while. This does not work out as Nuttel's sister had hoped, which can be accredited to Mrs. Sappleton's niece, who has a penchant for trickery.

Yes, your niece's husband is generally considered a family member to you, as he is married to your niece, who is your relative. In many families, spouses of relatives are included in the broader definition of family. However, the closeness of your relationship may vary depending on personal dynamics within your family.
That could be your daughter. It could also be someone with no blood relationship to you if it is actually your brother-in-law's niece. It could also be your niece and in most families you would just refer to her as a niece.

Frampton Nuttel suffers from a nervous condition and has come to spend some time alone. His sister sets up introductions for him with a few members of the community. His first visit is to the Sappleton house where he meets fifteen-year-old Vera, the niece of Mrs. Sappleton. Vera keeps Nuttel company while he waits. Upon hearing that Nuttel has not met the Sappletons, Vera tells Nuttel some information about the family. Vera says that three years ago to the date, Mrs. Sappleton's husband and two younger brothers went on a hunting trip and never returned. Vera goes into detail about the clothes they were wearing, the dog that accompanied them, and the song that Mrs. Sappleton's brother sang upon their return. Vera says that her grief-stricken aunt watches out the window expecting their return. When Mrs. Sappleton enters, she tells Nuttel that she expects her husband and brothers to return at any moment. Nuttel listens, thinking that Mrs. Sappleton has in fact gone crazy. Suddenly, Mrs. Sappleton brightens as she tells Nuttel that they have returned. Nuttel turns only to see the "dead" hunters. He becomes frightened and leaves in a rush. Mrs. Sappleton doesn't understand Nuttel's strange behavior, but Vera replies that he is deathly afraid of dogs. Not until the end of the story does the reader realize that Vera has tricked Mr. Nuttel. This is revealed with the last line of the story: "Romance at short notice was her [Vera's] specialty."
