Elizabeth watches Mr. Darcy and Miss de Bourgh out of curiosity and interest due to her prior interactions with Mr. Darcy and her developing feelings towards him. She may be trying to understand Mr. Darcy's character and his relationship with Miss de Bourgh.
It is clear to Elizabeth that Miss Bingley is interested in Darcy. She has ideas about what might attract him to her, and much of what she says and does is aimed at getting him interested. Darcy, however, is unmoved, and responds with indifference bordering on rudeness. Since Elizabeth dislikes both Darcy and Miss Bingley, and since she enjoys observing people who are self important or silly, she finds this amusing.

Miss Bingley's first mistake is trying to belittle Elizabeth in front of Mr. Darcy, which only seems to amuse him. Her second mistake is being overly obvious and transparent in her attempts to make Elizabeth look bad, which backfires as Mr. Darcy sees through her insincerity.
Miss Bingley flatters Darcy, seeks his advice, and tries to engage him in conversation to gain his attention and favor. She also shows a keen interest in his opinions and preferences to demonstrate her compatibility with him.
Darcy ultimately tells Elizabeth that her "fine eyes" have bewitched him.
The piece they danced to is called "Mr. Beveridge’s Maggot," a popular English country dance tune from the 17th century.
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. This does not endear him to her, to say the least. His second proposal is relaxed and unassuming. It is also successful.
Darcy attributes prejudice to Elizabeth, while Elizabeth attributes pride to Darcy.
No, Elizabeth was not insulted by Mr. Darcy's request to introduce her to his sister, Georgiana. In fact, she appreciated the opportunity to get to know more about Mr. Darcy's family and to form a closer bond with him.
