I feel ya on these questions. This movie directed by the BEST director alive...Denis Villeneuve. Check his previous movies. First a quick break down on the questions you asked. -Lady Jessica, Pauls mother (not married to Leto, but his companion called a concubine). They're deeply in love but he remained single in the event a marriage would benefit his people. She has a very important part in the story line but as for this movie, you need to know she is a Bene Gesserit, an idealistic group of women who have physical and mental abilities that have been around for thousands of years aligning blood lines from the different houses to create a super leader with the idea of guiding humanity to a better future. Jessica started teaching Paul on the ways of Bene Gesserit against the Reverend Mothers wishes which can be seen in the scene when Paul used the 'voice' to get his mother to give him water. -The Bene Gesserit has a Reverend Mother who has close ties to the Emperor and his daughter, Irulan. This relationship between Emperor and the Reverend Mother exposes the Emperor as a jealous and dangerous man. She learned of Paul's emergence and needed to test him on his impulse control, which she did with the pain box and needle. Paul passed the test. -Emperor rules the Imperium which is powerful group of planets (known as Great Houses) in interstellar space (within a galaxy, not the universe). Movie starts with the Emperor replacing the Harkonnen with the Atreides on planet Arrakis which is where 'spice' is harvested. Spice is considered the most valuable substance in the galaxy because it allows certain beings called the guild navigators the ability to fold space and navigate extremely long distances at incredible speeds, thus why so costly. When Leto Atreides arrived on Arrakis to take over spice production, he wanted to have peace with the mysterious Fremen and had planned to work around any hardships the Fremen had experienced with the Harkonnen as invaders. Shortly after Emperor betrayed Leto and killed most of House Atreides. There are hundreds of small details where each detail has heavy meaning, so forgive me if I should not target a specific detail that relates to any of your questions. .

Asking the real questions

Feels like they made the movies with the mindset that everyone knows the lore edit: the witch mother whos dressed in all black convinced the emperor to plot with harkonnens to kill the atreides clan and he lent his own personal army which is very strong, the sardaukar to join forces with the harkonnens. Just watch the second movie because theyll be some reveals there, and then watch 1 and 2 again, sleep eat and repeat

Dune 1 is half a book. So you can't really expect anything to be resolved.
