What reason did George Wickham give Elizabeth for hating Darcy?
Darcy refused to pay wickham some money from an inheritance. ----- Wickham accused Darcy of refusing to comply with his father's dying wish to give Wickham a living as a parish pastor on Darcy's estate. Wickham never claimed he had been any money as an inheritance. What actually happened was that Wickham refused to be ordained as a clergyman, which meant he was not qualified to be a pastor. He asked Darcy for the money equivalent of the living, and he was given this. In lying to Elizabeth, he claimed he had wanted to be a clergyman, but was prevented from doing so. He also neglected to say he had been given an equivalent value of money instead.

Why does Charlotte think that mr. Darcy is interested in Elizabeth?
Darcy is uninterested in dancing with anyone he does not know. The assumption among the local people of Meryton is that he feels himself too high above the company there. Darcy does ask Elizabeth to dance with him at the Netherfield ball, and she consents to this because she cannot think of an excuse not to dance. Charlotte sees Darcy's interest in dancing with Elizabeth as out of character and concludes that he is interested in her. In the 1995 television series, Charlotte says to Lizzy that Darcy seems to look at her a lot. I have looked through the book and have not found it there, and though it could be eluding me, I think it is something only in the TV series.

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.
