They were surprised because the Native American (Squanto) knew how to speak English.
In the spring of 1805, the expedition set out again. At this time they were joined by Sacagawea, who was a Shoshone indian. Her languages---she knew sign language and several Native American languages--- and her knowledge of geogragphy would be of great value to Lewis and Clark. :D
No, Native American's did not have or use 'last names' (Surnames) until they were forced to do so by the American Government. Since then many Native American's have adopted other names they knew, or stuck with traditional nouns (names).

The Lenape Native Americans as they know themselves although Europeans knew them as the Delaware.
Native Americans understood the symbiotic relationship between the land and people. They knew that abuse of this relationship would lead to destruction.
Depends on where they were. Canada and the Northeastern tribes knew French and English. Many knew English as time went on and they had contact with the English.
