Yes, Framton Nuttel was initially unsure if Mrs. Sappleton was married or not. When he first arrives at her house, he assumes she is a widow based on the information he has been given. However, as the story progresses, it becomes clear that Mrs. Sappleton's husband is actually alive and well, leading to a humorous misunderstanding.
Framton Nuttel is at Mrs. Sappleton's home during the majority of the story.
Mr. Sappleton's conversation was horrible to Framton because she unknowingly brought up the topic of the open window, not realizing it was a sensitive subject connected to a traumatic event in Framton's life. This caused him great distress and embarrassment, making the conversation unbearable for him.
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.
The story told by Mrs. Sappleton about her husband and brothers being lost in a hunting expedition three years ago was significant because it sets up the twist ending where the supposedly deceased men walk back into the house, revealing that Mrs. Sappleton had been entertaining a delusion. The story adds a layer of suspense and irony to the narrative.

The Point of View in this story is called "Omniscient Point Of View". It is to say that the person telling the story is NOT a character in this story and Knows everything there is to know about the character and setting.
The main topic is about how Framton Nuttel has presented himself at the Sappleton house to pay a visit. He is in the country undergoing a rest cure for his nerves and is calling on Mrs. Sappleton at the request of his sister. Though she does not know Mrs. Sappleton well, she worries that her brother will suffer if he keeps himself in total seclusion, as he is likely to do. Fifteen-year-old Vera keeps Nuttel company while they wait for her aunt. After a short silence, Vera asks if Nuttel knows many people in the area. Nuttel replies in the negative, admitting that of Mrs. Sappleton he only knows her name and address. Vera then informs him that her aunt's "great tragedy" happened after his sister was acquainted with her. Vera indicates the large window that opened on to the lawn. Exactly three years ago, Vera recounts, Mrs. Sappleton's husband and two younger brothers walked through the window to go on a day's hunt. They never came back....
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.
