Answer 2

basically the children - Scout (Jean-Louise) & Jem (Jeremy) take the threats seriously and are so concerned about the threats they take their concerns to Aticus - their father.  Atticus is more pragmatic about it - he believes that Bob Ewell's threats are just threats and nothing more - he believes Ewell to be a person of cowardly character, without the ability to turn the threats into reality.  The children's aunt of course believes the threats to have more substance than this, and warns Atticus that Ewell will do "something furtive".

Unfortunately I do not have my copy to hand to be able to add further quotes or examples - you really should try to read the book yourself - it's a terrific read.
