Penelope tests her visitors by seeing who can string the bow and shoot it
Penelope gives the suitors the test of stringing Odysseus's bow to find out who is truly worthy of her and to stall for time, hoping that Odysseus will return. It also allows her to further test the suitors' qualities and intentions towards her and her home.
While he was dressed as a beggar, he saw one of the maids consorting with Penelope's suitor. Odysseus suggested that Penelope test which of her maids are faithful to her and not her suitors.

No, the eagle did not come back to kill Penelope.
Penelope set the test of stringing Odysseus's bow to identify the one suitor who could successfully complete this task, as it required great strength and skill. By setting this test, Penelope hoped to reveal the true identity of her husband, Odysseus, who she suspected might be among the suitors in disguise.
Odysseus tells her so directly. Penelope then tests Odysseus, and he passes her test, confirming his identity.

Penelope's final test for Odysseus is to ask him to move their bed, which Odysseus built himself and knows cannot be moved because it is constructed from an olive tree trunk that is part of the structure of their home. Odysseus passes the test by revealing this secret detail, allowing Penelope to finally recognize him as her husband.
The Penelope test refers to the clever challenge that Penelope, Odysseus's wife, devises to confirm the identity of her husband upon his return to Ithaca after twenty years. She asks him to move their bed, which he built himself and is unique in its construction, knowing that only the true Odysseus would understand its significance. Odysseus passes this test by describing the bed's construction and revealing its immovable nature, ultimately proving his true identity to Penelope.
