1. Hastings just has some odd likes and dislikes for people, and I think that he didn't like the butler because Hastings has a history of distrusting very handsome men for some unknown reason (this is seen in "The Lemesurier Inheritance," too. In either Agatha Christie's Secret Notebooks or Murder in the Making, John Curran says the butler is gay, but I didn't see any evidence of this in the books. In any case, the butler steals some money and disappears as a red herring.
2. We don't know the reason for Lord Edgware agreeing to the divorce. Poirot theorizes that Jane found some blackmail evidence that could have ruined his reputation. Lord Edgware was a thoroughly unpleasant sort, and probably didn't like being visited at his home by Poirot (who Edgware was probably prejudiced against, probably having a bias against non-British people), but I'm not sure. Maybe he thought Jane was rubbing salt in the wound about having power over him.
@maryamalbulushi I really like this book also. It's my favorite Agatha Christie after Death on the Nile. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
