Question #1.
The irony of the story is that when the narrator's wife told him that an old friend was coming to visit, and that the friend was a blind man; he was underwhelmed. The narrator is less than thrilled to host Robert. He feels uncomfortable when his wife leaves him alone with him. He can't get good small talk started with him. Meanwhile, his wife is nothing short of thrilled to have Robert. She talks to him about past times and never gives her husband a glance. The two of them are happy to be together, while the narrator could care less.
In the end the narrator connects with Robert, when they were both drawing the cathedral, they end up liking each other and he feels comfortable around Robert.
