Biff is Willy's elder son. Happy is the younger one.
In Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman," the first act spans over one evening. The audience is given information about the death of the salesman, Willy Loman, early in the play through conversations and flashbacks that reveal his struggles and the impact of his death on his family.
No, the word "downstairs" is a single word, not two words.
Yes. As in "I was downstairs getting ready for work when the phone rang."
One can only go downstairs somewhere that there is stairs.
If you are talking about Death of a Salesman, which I assume you are, Willy Loman comes home because he is too "tired" and simply "couldn't drive anymore". This signifies Willy's exhaustion and also eludes to the beginnings of Willy's mental illness. He states that he was "unable to drive anymore" and Linda is alarmed by this. She acts this way because she idolizes him. She sees him as a man with little imperfections and does her best to make excuses for his flaws. This is what makes Willy the perfect tragic antihero. He was never a great man, but he was idolized by at least one person, and that happened to be his wife.

Death of a Salesman chronicles Willy Loman's final descent into a mad unreality. During one of these episodes of unreality, as he conducts a vociferous conversation with Ben, his long-dead brother, his next door neighbor, Charley, enters. They begin to play cards, both men trading insults, until Charley gives up and returns home. In this crucial encounter, one friend is a foil for the other in Miller's dramatic exposition of the meaning of a successful life. Charley's is real, while Willy's is a sham. Both men know this, but are unwilling to admit it to eachother. Thus, out of envy, Willy insists that a real man is one who knows how to handle tools. Thus, out of pity, which he knows he can't reveal to Willy, Charley offers his friend a job, aware even as he says it, that it is doomed to be refused.
