"Well, what's Out-With then?" he repeated "Out with What?"

How does Gretel relate to her father?
Gretel holds their father in high regard as it is described as "Gretel, who always spoke of Father as if he could never do any wrong and never got angry and always came in to kiss her goodnight before she went to sleep".
Gretel lines up her dolls like her father organising the troops. Gretel enjoys the sense of power and superiority over Bruno while her father has power over the troops (being a high ranking officer). Bruno is represented as being a Jew as having less power and that the dolls symbolise the troops of her father.

Does Bruno understand where they are? What makes you believe this?
Bruno does not understand the significance of the area or where the house is situated because it is a common motif of Bruno mispronouncing the well known Auschwitz as "Out-With"

Read pgs 27-29. How are Bruno's and Gretel's reaction to 'the children' Bruno sees through the window different? What does this tell us about these two characters and
their perception/understanding of where they are?
Bruno is curious about the children while Gretel is cautious of what the children are doing there and why they are on the other side of the fence. This shows the lack of knowledge Bruno juxtaposed to Gretel's understanding of the situation.
