Why is Darcy surprised that they are Elizabeth's relatives?
You must be referring to the Gardiners, whom he met at Pemberly. The book does not say why he was surprised, but it does say why Elizabeth expected him to be surprised and that she could tell he was surprised. She expected him to be surprised because she thought he must have taken them for people of fashion, and she believes Darcy would not expect her to be related to such people.

Darcy proposes twice in Pride and Prejudice. The first proposal is arrogant and self deluded, and when Darcy realizes Elizabeth will turn him down, he gets resentful and argumentative.

Yes. In the beginning, Darcy was too proud and arrogant in his proposal which makes Elizabeth really infuriated and turned off by him.

It was only after the gradual realisation of her misunderstanding that Elizabeth gradually started to realised her mistake and started to see the good side of Darcy.

Elizabeth's first impression of Darcy was that he was arrogant and thoughtless of others. She based this on the experience she had at the Meriton Assembly, very early in the book, where she overheard him say of her that she was tolerable, but not enough to tempt him. Also, at the same assembly, Darcy would only dance with women he already knew well, and would not talk with the local people.

Who married Mr Darcy?
When Jane asks this, Elizabeth says she really cannot say, except that it might be when she first saw Pemberly. The idea that it started with seeing Pemberly is, of course, a joke. As a reader, I get the impression that the beginning dates to her reading of the letter from Darcy, which tells her not only that she has been mistaken about Wickham, but that she has also been mistaken about Darcy.

What was the pride in Pride and Prejudice?
The "Pride" in Pride and Prejudice relates back to mainly Mr. Darcy's pride, but also a little to Elizabeth's. Mr. Darcy is too proud to aqqaintence himself with the Bennets more than he has too and when he does propose to Elizabeth Bennet he makes it clear that he loves her "against his better jugdgement".
Why does Mr Darcy begin to listen to Elizabeth's conversations with other people?
Mr. Darcy begins listening to Elizabeth's conversations because, although she intrigues him, he is much too shy to just come up and start a conversation, especially after Elizabeth heard him say that she was just 'tolerable.' He is probably a little embarrassed for judging her so harshly, and of course, at that point in the book, he is still a little put off by her family and their social situation, so he doesn't want to get (or make a show of getting) too close to Elizabeth. Elizabeth is just so different from everyone else in the town, so Mr. Darcy is drawn to that; and because he is such a wealthy person, he can creep (or listen in on) Elizabeth's conversations without anyone getting offended that he's not contributing - it wouldn't be their place to do that! So, all in all, Mr. Darcy does it because he is shy and has a crush on Elizabeth.
